Two final questions:

1) If a few light taps don't work, I can basically bang on the SLU as hard as I want correct? After all, this is the component that Nissan is going to replace if this workaround fails?

2) So simply cutting the brown wire has no negative consequences? I didn't see any in any forum posts. Due to my inexperience with cars I prefer to go this route, even though a step-by-step process was posted for the fuse box. Someone on the forum mentioned that if you do not replace all the seals properly when doing the fuse workaround, water can get into the box and cause several thousand dollars in damage. Not sure I want to tempt fate...

Thanks!

You DON'T have to replace anything when removing the fuse most of these people on this thread think they are helping when in fact they don't know what the hell they are talking about,they probably said to replace the seal b/c they were stupid and ripped it when opening the door to the fuse box.

You just open the fuse door remove fuse #48 it says steering lock on it put the cover back on it and that is it,go to the first post and you will see how simple it really is.
You don't have to beat the sh!t out of it but you may have to hit it a little harder than a few taps to get it to move.

Good luck Frank
