It's not a one-way street:
At least 3 DIYs, came from me, including one on how Nissan diagnostics" Consult III" makes errors ---expensive to you or, even, to Nissan warranties dept. The DIYs were maybe drowned amidst posters racking up points.
I'm not about to be implicated or blamed in the crazy USA (and now UK!) lawyer rackets. Therefore I show "social responsibility" to those nutters who'll blame me for accidents, car thefts, or injured fingers by saying it's quite a bit above a "DIY" classification.....and it is.
An e-mail to our mutual addresses gets the job done to those who need it. It also gets my own ID.
.....but an e-mail is private mail and, note, never for quoting.
The real surprise is the reluctance of folk to give out the "safety related" information which they probably gave elsewhere, even on this site (like chassis numbers), or to spend 5 minutes photographing a VVEL relay...which I asked for before. Mutual aid.
CAUTION: If you are keeping a "good spare" the temptation may be over-powering to touch the one external screw.
If turned the slightest amount the lock goes into permanently "locked" mode...."for your safety" ...naturellement.... ... and your money:- lots. (1,900USD in Europe).
Pressing an extended lock against the spring may do the same thing.
If allowed to "free fall" this "safety gadget" would possibly bend or break.....so test the lock anyhow before keeping it "as spare".
Let it hang on the car and watch its action...or inaction. ... or engine start inaction.
Notes: The manufacturer who supplies Nissan is German....who gets them made in.....the USA (!) Component parts are "bought out"...and I think, from documents, they're maybe not as the supplier intended them to be used by the lock manufacturer or Nissan. (Pigeons and a cat come to mind!)
Nissan's own QC is apparently zero: P'raps it is "streng verboten" for them to see inside it......and if they did ....they'd maybe "be unhappy" (I would be).....and there is also one "magic" component in there that I can only fathom is apparently for "sucker inspectors", as it seems to do "nothing else".
