Mine was intermittent (a bit like a manual lock needing a shake and seemed normal enough) but then expired...... and is on hold for possible warranty, if winter wheels and tires do not void it. Tricky Niss.
"Must be manufactured" in 2010 was my written deal on the car itself. The type B steering lock was made in early 2009 and the gas pedal assy made in late 2008.
Is that normal on a 2010 build car?
What happened to Just-in-time (JIT) production methods...I wonder.
Apart from un- reliability---4+ times now--the car's great. A curate's egg.
Any folk with an old lock? I'd like to disect it and try a relay to fool the CPU/BCM into thinking the lock is there. A real ignition switch and starter button could be nice too.
How are steering lock messages sent to the electronics to allow the engine to start ?
