Oh man, you are missing out. Everybody here is excited to set their tents up for a fun camping trip to Nissan North America! If you search for "camping" you will get this...

LOL. Sorry guys everytime I see this thread title I just can't help laughing!

But to your point, I totally agree. Who knows if the RevD will last for how long before you get stuck again. I myself is going to replace the unit but I will still pull the fuse afterwards just to be safe.

I am going to get my upgraded steering wheel lock fuse; but need to put old fuse back in to get upgraded fuse.....so do i put the old fuse back in the same way i pulled it? I will pull the new fuse when i get her home. If i sell her I'll give the new owner the option like i had.

Yep. Just put the fuse back in while the car is off. The car should start, but the ESCL (SLU) may need to cycle once (car on then off) before it starts working properly.

First, you aren't getting an "upgraded steering wheel lock fuse". The recall involves replacing the steering lock unit itself.

Second, I'd leave the fuse out and hand it to the dealership when you take the car in for the recall - let them put it back in. You never know, your defective SLU may fail right after you put the fuse back in.
