Is it just me? (Life after pulling the steering lock fuse)

I have reviewed the diagrams too, but as I posted, it seems to be looking for a signal return that is no longer there. Either the ECU or the BCM must 'sense' the lack of a signal and is 'thinking' about it...
I can confirm that I NEVER had a delay issue in the year prior to removing the fuse.... and had it instantly thereafter.

This just makes me wonder why it doesn't happen more consistently. I had the exact same experience. Never happened before fuse was removed. But then why is someone in a 2013 having a similar issue? I thought they got rid of the ESCL mid-2011 models

My experience to a T.
After doing the "mod", I pushed the button, experienced a delay and thought "hmm, that was weird" and chalked it up to just me being paranoid about messing with the car's electronics.
But now it's consistent.

I think I'll get the SLU replaced on my next trip to the dealer.

Have you tried the GT-R start button mod? That thing suppose to get your car started faster thus eliminate the delay.

He is already pushing the red start button. This is the real issue.
