Nope

So I just have to leave the key in and then pull the fuse?

Yep. Make sure you hear the lock retract.

Wait! If you have a 2012, you don't have a SLU!

You need to have the key on then pull it then try it

Tadaaa worked! Thx guys

2010 40th annj

ah. Says Said 2012 on the side info box.
Glad you got it going. :tup:

Removed Pintsize's steering lock fuse last night - in the dark of my driveway :icon17:

Ok. Yep. Even if you had your lock replaced before, just pull the fuse. Don't trust later revisions. They break too!

I just got home and had to post this.

So I get back to CA tonight, 6+ hour flight from FL to CA.

Tired as hell from working in FL for a week, and just wanting to get home I land, get my luggage and then go get my car.

Yep. Steering lock fails. So, I bang it for a while and but it still won't start. I call NISSAN road service to get a flatbed.

While waiting, I am now starting the really beat the s*it out of the lock. Then, one solid kick later and I hear it unlock and it's starts! It's like 11p by now, so I cancel the tow and drive home.

After I park I leave the car on, pull up this thread on my iPhone and proceed to pull the fuse.

F*ucken lol! Long day! But, I saved myself a hell of a lot more head ache cuz of this thread. I'd hate to have gone to the dealer for this and deal with not having my car for days or weeks.

Point is, even if you've been replaced with a newer part, there's a decent chance that one will go bad as well.

Haha. Oh yeh. Apart from being tired as hell and just wanting to get home, most of this was happening in the rain! Hilarity lols.

Oh, thank you to Baer/dai for getting the fuse pull DIY thing going.



Tapatalk & such etc

I'm really glad that out of all the info I have given people on this forum over the past 2 years that I was able to find this and make such a difference in helping people from allot of aggravation,money loss,and you name it,it makes me feel good to read stories like yours that you were saved from a really bad situation.
Thank you for your story and your welcome from my/Dai find.:tiphat:

is this something easy to do? I'm not very smart when comes to cutting wires or working on cars. I had mine replaced with revision D last year..

It is very easy to do,in the beginning of the thread some where it shows you how to get to the fuse,all you really need to do is turn the car on and pull the fuse that's it nothing really hard at all

Super easy. No wire cutting or serious work needed. You're smart to do this even with rev D. Small needle nose pliers are really all you need to remove the fuse. You will want a flat head screw driver to help remove the plastic clips that holds the battery compartment plastic down. Honestly, it should take less than 10 minutes to remove the two components to where you can pull out the fuse box enough to access it. Just familiarize yourself with this thread and refer to it as needed during the process. Once you have the fuse box out, turn the car to ACC or ON and then remove the fuse. Then reassemble everything you just took apart. :tup:

:iagree:

Thanks guys for the help! really appreciate it. I will have to try this asap
