I'm in the same boat as you. We should be able to get this figured out.

There's a whole lot of "figuring out" goin' on! (Hard to do without knowledge of the lock internals)

While I take no responsibility anyhow, (for something that works AOK for me),
I take even less (!) for any cutting or looping at any place other than at the end source: the steering lock.

Information from the steering lock goes every-which-way by routes actually unknown...just as the lock maker (not Nissan) and Nissan intend.

My objective included the ability, but not necessity, to fit a switch "for gummt inspections" or as "extra" (not less) security in insecure areas....etc.

FYI: see my other posts on this damned lock...I know it inside (and out). There was/is just no logical reason for the BDM (et al) to throw a light or give other drama....or I'd not have used my car as a guinea pig.

"A harness addition" at the lock ? AOK and smooth if you need the switch. If not just cut the wire. As an afterthought one could still hire an "electronic kid" to solder in a switch ...
[a switch can go high up on the left ankle (fuse box) panel which is easily removed for drilling or cutting. A switch wire can be neatly taped back on the steering lock harness].

Small warning (though I'm interested!)..Any work further back up the harness could go expensively awry, especially if using the shop manual for information which it will not, and in fact cannot give you on a security matter...think about it...
