Default z wont start

so I go out to my car and get in and the car doesnt read that the key is with me I think. Even though the door handle button works to unlock the car. I just now replaced the battery and nothing changed. The fobgina doesnt do anything. The car just acts like the key isnt there meaning it does nothing. Im trapped at work, any ideas?

Steering lock probably. There is a recall on it since earlier last year so shouldn't be any charge to get replaced by Nissan.

Did you put the key fob in the slot and try starting it?

So frustrating though. I saw on the sticky that the accessory power still turns on when you push the button though but mine doesnt. just stays on lock

So im having it towed to the dealership, the guy here is already saying not all Zs are included under the recall. I have a 2010, so are they already trying to weasel themselves out of covering me. I guess something else could be wrong since it hasnt been checked yet but it definately seems like the steering lock. But is there any reason my Z shouldnt be covered by the recall

bang on the steering lock with a small hammer or mallet and push the start button to see if you can free it. then cut the brown wire or pull the fuse while the car is in the ON position.

check my diy to see wat the thing looks like.
