Steering lock problem solved (for real)

wheee!

I finally grew a pair and pulled the fuse box up and out... it was being held in by the harness, so be careful when pulling it out. Here are the pics people are waiting for....

The first picture shows where I pulled the fuse and the second one denotes it's location in the box.

AGAIN! MAKE SURE THE CAR IS IN 'ACCESSORY' MODE FIRST!!!!

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!

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

THANKS A LOT

I just got my 2010 Roadster A/T and saw the light on once while driving - read "Key Symbol - No Key".

UPDATE PLEASE:

For those who have pulled the "Steering Lock" fuse (next to the battery)
Have you had any problems since (any further warning lights)?
Has the car performed properly without this fuse?
How long has it been pulled?
Is it currently covered by a Nissan recall?

I have No Problem modding my machines to make them better - just being careful first!

That fuse powers the motor in the ESCL and, IIRC, nothing else. Pulling the fuse will not have an effect on any other part of the car. The FSM has schematics showing what's going on.
I removed the fuse in my '09 Touring and had zero problems related to ESCL fuse removal for the two years or so I kept the car after that.

There's a link in my sig to a thread that summarizes a lot of the posts on this site abput ESCL problems/fixes. Hasn't been updated in quite a while, but things haven't really changed since last update.
