How many of you have pulled the steering lock fuse?

Hi All,

I bought a 2009 Z Touring with sport package this past Saturday afternoon with 11K miles on it. Absolute mint condition. A real garage car. Story -Pregnant woman traded it in on a family vehicle at my neighborhood Honda dealership. A couple tried to buy it ahead of me but I knew the sales guy and he got me the deal instead of them. I'm sure I probably paid too much due to the other people breathing down my neck but hell I don't care. I love this car. I burned 1/2 a tank of gas playing with it the rest of the day Saturday.

Today leaving for work I saw the "key/fob" battery symbol on my garish orange LCD porthole but the remote unlocks the car fine, so I got to work and then cut the brown wire after ACCY high and SW unlocked and no problem since. No way I'm gonna be stranded for an issue I know about ahead of time. If it weren't for this fantastic forum I'd never have known what to do.
I didn't pull the fuse 'cause I'm lazy and can solder the wires together if I ever need to repair and then put erectrical tape on the joint.
