OP, could you just put this DIY video in your first post so that people don't have to read through till page 11(I guess) to find the first pic of where the fuse is located? I spent sometime myself search through this board but none of them has clear step by step DIY instructions(with pix or videos) on how to pull the fuse. This thread would be much helpful if you could include this video in your first post. Thanks!

Is so easy even a ........
This video made it so easy, even a man like me could do it. I could be a caveman once in a while. Before the video I was looking at the wrong box for a moment. Luckyly I knew I was looking at the wrong box. Thank you Mr. Forza370z for the video clip.

Even though I know we've won the war and Nissan just issued a recall on SLU. But like somebody else had mentioned, who knows if the new unit will fail again or not. So pulling the fuse is still an option for us. Again, if OP would put up this video into his first post it would be much helpful in a long run for the z community. |

http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-w...ring-lock.html 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.

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. |

I just had mine done today. Dropped the car off and they took care of that and some update for the Nav....and now my new issue with the dealership...
I'm semi-pissed cause they drove the car for 4 miles afterward. Tried finding out why they needed to do a test drive for these 2 things and didn't get a straight answer. They also are saying that I now need new rear tires when my car has just 15k miles and I never really drive it hard. They happen to have a gently used set in stock that I could get at discount. Should I be mad? |

I actually just got the recall letter in the mail.
I'm still pretty sure on pulling the fuse but knowing the dealer will upgrade me to a Lock D or something is also peace of mind...for a little while at least.

Haven't gotten a recall notice yet but called the dealer last friday. Turns out it's on the list and will go in for replacement. Told service Rep. I had already pulled the fuse and questioned reinstalling it. Told me not to do it for fear of it failing.
It might not be a bad idea to call and find out. I still plan on pulling the fuse after replacement! |
