Plus if there is enough problems with them then legally they will required to resolve the problem. Another reason why we need more formal complaints!

He has been working @ Nissan for 14 years I'd say he knows enough.

he knows enough sure but he has nothing to do with making the call to do a TSB or a recall

I found a Technical Service Bulletin about this that provides the affected VIN's of Nissan vehciles. The reference is NTB12-041 that was dated April 27, 2012.

If you guys would just go ck to see if you have the fuse then you have a steering lock,it would be quicker to see if you have the fuse(which means you have one)instead of all of this wasted research.

Done. Took about 5 minutes. The passenger airbag light if off though. I think I remember somebody on here saying something about an airbag light.

It has nothing to do with the airbag light!

I didn't think so. Just reporting my findings.

Thanks:tup:

New Findings
 
I have already replaced my steering lock unit last year :shakes head:

However, I think that the same problem is re-occurring again.... and I think that there are some early indications that area leading me to conclude that the same problem is about to re-occur and I would like to share these concerns with you guys:

[1] I keep having some throttle problems: Sometimes the "check engine" icon is one and I experience up-normal throttle (750/950 RPM),

[2] The A/C: sometimes the A/C unit just turn "ON" for no reason !!!! this is really strange, and

[3] The "Key" icon: sometimes the KEY icon turns "ON" for no reason also - because I remember that few days before my car stopped working the key icon was appearing regularly.

Guys, is there any link between these items ??? I have linked my conclusions to the manual photo which was posted by (GaleForce) :confused: Because the 10A fuse location #48 which is feeding the steering lock relay is located in the center between (a) the A/C Relay fuse and (b) the Throttle Relay. Is there ant possibility that an electrical problem (whatsoever) affect the surrounding Relays????

I would much appreciate someone to help me on this matter.
thanks

I was actually referring to the TSB they were talking about that I wanted to go read through. I have had the bypass harness in my car ever since it was made available. I was the one who actually PM'd Brian (bdl99) @ the carkitcompany.com to see if he could make a harness for this problem so we didn't just have to cut the wire (pre pull the fuse days). In the end once it was ready I got one of his prototypes from the original 5 I think it was that he made. :tup: I just love checking back in this thread to see whats going on, plus to tell new members to fix that stupid f*cking P.O.S. ASAP! :rofl2:
