ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

jcole8188 · 12-31-2013, 04:10 PM

Hey I have a question about the steering lock on the 2009 370z. I've been reading every ones input but just trying to get a specific answer. Mine recently decided not to start and the key light is the only light on the dash. The car won't go into accessory mode at all just stays in lock. Do I have to buy the new revD part from the dealer or is there something I can do myself? They said it's going to be about 800 just for the part. I was reading how people either pulled a fuse or snipped a wire but is that only a solution when the car is able to go into ACC mode? Input would be great not trying to get raped by the dealer. Thanks

Beat on the ESCL with your fist and you may be able to break it free so that you can get the car started. If you do manage to get things working, do NOT turn the car off until you remove the fuse. Several DIYs on this site - see link in my sig.
