Steering lock problem solved (for real)

kenchan · 07-02-2012, 11:23 AM

i've noticed slight delay after push-button was pressed and my car is still stock (have not pulled the fuse or cut the brown wire).

that said, this "delay" you guys are talking about might be a normal thing.

the duration of the delay was like 1 to 1.5sec. is that about consistent with those feeling the "delay"?

My wife's 2011 Altima did it yesterday morning moving her car quickly to get my Z out,so speed when starting may have something to do with it.

When I first did this mod, I was getting a delayed start about 1 in every 5 starts.. After about a month I'm getting delays almost every time I start it now. Its not causing a problem or anything though.

Yep, 1 to 2 seconds sounds about right.

yah, that's normal then, i think. my car doens't do that all the time (mine is still stock), but after using the acc without starting the car several cycles for some gopro mic tests i did, i noticed it took a split second pause after pushing the button before the engine started the next time.

(and my battery was on battery manager the entire time so nothing to do with battery cca).
