Note that there are two fuse boxes next to the battery. The steering wheel lock fuse is in the larger one that is more difficult to get to, you have to pull it up to get the cover off and get to the fuses. I had to remove the battery cover, the plastic around the battery cover, and the plastic near the windshield. They just have some little snap-ins to hold them on, so not really that difficult. The fuse itself just pulls straight out.

Good Point, and yeah, taking the battery cover off was how I did mine. Mine went out during a trip 100 miles away from my house; luckily with a little anger and a pair of pliers, the problem was solved.

The important bit is pull. the. fuse. I kicked the **** out of it and nothing. I gave it some love taps with the hammer and nothing. I felt so lucky when I gave it a good smack and it disengaged, and knew to yank that fuse. That piece of **** will cost you $1000 if it won't disengage. I won't be trading for another Nissan. The part is a defective design and expensive to replace and they won't give an inch.
