^i know the saying. But how is it possible to steal the front wheel when its turned and locked in wheel well?

Also, we put wheel locks in hopes of "detering" thieves. My ? Does turning your wheels "deter" thieves?

Guys, im sorry to ask this but im lost. I read until page 15 and i didn't understood nothing about you all posted :mad:

Delay? Fuse removal? Steering lock?

I feel stupid because i didn't understood NOTHING at all :wtf2:

I wanna understand this post to know what to do on my 2012...:icon23:

you don't have to worry about it b/c you are buying a 2013 this only applies to 2009-2011 possibly some 2012.

Was going to get a 2013 but not anymore. My 2012 arrives on friday, hope it wont reach it :tup:

going to try this tonight. i think it will feel like a huge weight of my shoulders when i get this done. right now, every time my car starts im like "whew, i'm clear this time"

Thanks! Just did mine too :) I also had instant starts on my 7AT.

I got an 09 I can't find a steering lock fues anywhere.

The fuse is located on the side of the battery in the IPDM pull it out slowly(it's pretty big)open it up and the fuse is marked"steering lock"just turn your ignition on pull the fuse and put back the IPDM that it.

Does this problem apply to 2011 models? I need to know!

Some,look up under your steering wheel and see if you have a lock.

What does the lock look like?

I can't post a pic (I'm on my phone )it is directly over your head it's a small rectangular box, Google it if my description doesn't help.

Here's some pictures and procedure to remove the steering fuse lock (sorry for the poor quality and follow at your own risk).
Before you begin, disengage the steering lock by pressing the "start" button "without" starting the car (don't press your clutch/brakes for automatics). You will hear the lock disengage then begin.

Step 1:

Open the hood (if you don't know how, don't proceed any further).

Step 2:

Remove the battery cover (if you don't know how, skip to Step 9).

Step 3:

Remove the battery bracket. There are 4 plastic clip holding it. Pop the plastic clip open with a flat headed screw driver and pull it out. Slide the bracket towards the passenger side fender as the bracket is under the sway bar.

Step 4:

Remove HALF of the plastic weather stripe. The weather stripe goes all the way to the driver side so you don't have to remove the entire thing. There are 4-5 clips that needs to unplug. To remove them, gently twists and pull upwards (these clips are plastic so they will break).

Step 5:

There are 2-3 (forgot exactly how many and forgot picture) plastic clips holding the cover (highlighted in blue at Step 4). Remove the clips with a flat head. At the top corner of the piece there's a soft plastic piece locking the cover (hard to see in the picture,), lift that piece and it will unlock the cover and slide towards the front of the car.

Step 6:

You can now fully access the fuse box. Pop open the two clips and slide the box upwards.

Step 7:

Open the box and locate the fuses and remove it. I couldn't locate the 370z fuse tweezer (for those who does, a picture would be greatly appreciated), so I used my Audi's tweezer. Keep the 10amp fuse in a safe place just incase.

Step 8:

Complete, do the reverse order and put everything back together and you are done.

Step 9:

Enjoy your ride.


Time: 10 mins (took me longer to write the DIY than actually doing it)
Difficult: 1 (compared to an oil change 5)

2 weeks in and no issue or warning.
