Steering lock problem solved (for real)

"Pull the fuse"? Fitting a blown fuse would cover your problem!! (up to a point).

The much earlier "Steering lock: cut one wire, switch optional" thread......noted the need (certainly in Europe starting last year) to have an "operational lock" ....so fit a secret switch ... which you can switch on/off any time....and, done at the right time, gives hugely improved security over Nissan's.
"cutting the Brownie" thread was great photos posted by rhd.
Some time later a bear traced the brown wire to the fuse in the IPDM..."for real".

After countless phone calls, emails, complaints filed with just about anything related to cars/nissan, postings on their Facebooks and then getting told to GFY. I ended up paying for this myself. Well... I came home to this in the mail today, so I wonder if this is is specifically for Altimas or all Nissan vehicles affected. Worth another shot to call or fill out the application for reimbursement.
