How many of you have pulled the steering lock fuse?

[QUOTE=isayimandrew;2179536]Awesome, I will be attempting to get it into the on position then! Now I just need to find a buddy to help with remove the fuse, if/when I get it on. I'm not very car savy.


EDIT* - I know you said the vehicle has to be on. Does it matter that when it failed my wheel wasnt locked?

[QUOTE=Ryan's Nissan;2179579]I have no first hand experience with this since my car didnt come with an SLU. from what i have read though, you can try tapping the actual SLU while trying to start the vehicle and it might start. When it starts just pull the fuse. I dont think it matters if the wheel wasnt locked or not. someone else might have to chime in on that. good luck man! i know theres a couple of DIY's on doing it with some good pics to show what you need to do.

try this link Links to posts about Steering Wheel Lock. theres a lot of info on it there too

Ok, so from what I read. By tapping on the SLU with a rubber mallet and simultaneously tapping the push start with no brake/clutch, sometimes the vehicle will go into ACC mode. Once it's in that mode, all I have to do is pull the Steering lock fuse, right?

If so, I have attached pictures of the Fuse Schematic on my Altima, along with what/where I think the SLU is? (I think its under this pannel?) and the actual fuse box.

Now, I'm pretty sure the fuse I need to pull is the 10A which is the first red fuse on the bottom left of the box, right?

I know I may be repeating questions or asking stupid one's, but I just want to make sure I'm going to be doing this right. And if the SLU is under the panel under the steering wheel, how the heck do I get that panel off?

That's how it's done on the 370Z. Should be the same procedure for your Altima.

According to the fuse box cover diagram you supplied, the fuse is the 10A labeled "STEERING LOCK". It's near the middle of all the fuses.
Edit: Looking at the first pic of the fuses, yes, it is the top red (10A) fuse of the set of two red fuses and two blue (15A) fuses in the bottom left corner.

No panel to remove on the 370Z. See if you can track down the Factory Service Manual (FSM) for your car.
