Repp added

i'll be trying this soon!

thanks.

No problem:tiphat:

Thanks for the pics, rep'd. Also rep'd Dai and Baer, thanks fellas!

just so I understand, you simply pulled the fuse box up and out? only the harness was holding it in place, no clips?

Thanks again fellas! :tiphat:

Yep,the only problem has been that it doesn't look like a fuse box.:icon17:

there are 2 sorta push tabs at the top.

Clearly visible at the top of the box. Push them and then pull up. First time i had to get it out was a bit tough... (No pun intended).

k, thanks guys, im going to try now...

as caution again.. dont forget to have the car in accessory mode so its unlocked when you pull it out..

just did this.........and ........everything went a stated in earlier posts. no problems. Thanks again guys!

Good to here:tiphat:

Rep added!!!!

Altho dont be scared to try this incase you forget to have it unlocked before you pull the fuse.

just put the fuse back in... then unlock it and pull it out again.

Ya it was a bit tough to get it out, the tabs were easy to release but I had a tough time wiggling it out :ugh2:

I had to lift the windshield trim and the battery cover frame in order to have enough room to lift it out. Released the 2 tabs at the bottom to remove the cover and all worked out well. Thanks again guys, the fuse has been relocated to my arm rest compartment. :tup:

No problem :tiphat: don't forget well deserved repps for me and Dai:hello:

if I can rep you twice in one day I would! :tup:

Not sure if mine would have failed, but i take a lot of road trips in the Z and would rather not leave it to chance.

Thanks!

Awesome DYI Fix Thread. Thanks for all the hard work, pics and comments. You guys make this easy. Thank you!! :tup:

Glad we could help:tiphat:

My harness was tucked into the frame a little, so be careful when lifting it out to not damage the harness. I used a long screwdriver to ease the harness away from the body cavity.

The box (when free of the clips) moves easily, just watch the harness like mentioned above

Props to Baer and Dai! I was glad to help out with the pics! Thanks for the reps!

always glad to help with good information.:tiphat:

This is awesome, I was going to order the $50 part to get this fixed but this is a much better option. Going to run out and do this right now.

Glad we could save you $50 bucks.:hello:

I also just did this. Thanks guys! ill buy you a beer next we are out!!

We may just hold you to that:p

just took that fuse out. it only took me a total of 5 minutes!

another satisfied customer:tiphat:

And your payment to me and Dai is a repp:icon17:

Just updated to later 2012 model...no more steering lock. :tup::tup:

Congratulations.:tup:

Congrats! Time to change your details and sig.

Great solution guys! I'm gonna try this out while working on my car this weekend. You both have been repped :tiphat:

Thanks:hello:

Congrats Paul :tup:

I have no issue with the lock but it's easy way to prevent the z inoperable. It's also easy to reverse it back if your lock is still good. :tup:

If you do it my way,yes you can reverse it for ex. if you want to trade that car in just put the fuse back in and everything is back to normal.

Exactly. Your way is purely simple and no cost :tup: :tup:

Got this done last night. But car does not start.






































Just joking. Works fine.
