I saw these recommendations on the DIY and tried them all with no avail. I sure wish I'd have seen this sticky before this happened.

Take the steering lock out if know how if not remove the screws the it just comes off.

Follow instructions and pictures, this is from the forum.



1. first picture is old rev b lock
2. drilled out the tabs on the both sides with dremel
3. cover removed
4. removed #10 torx screws
5. circuit board removed
6. back piece with the gears
7. two tabs held down with piece of metal and electrical tape
8. all taped up and ready for testing
9. make sure you tape the end down or remove it so you can turn your steering wheel


Let me know if you need any other help!
Thanks for the tips, D370z. The car is at the dealer right now and I'm trying to decide if I'm going to risk towing it to my house and trying to fix or repair myself or having them do it. Either way, I'm thinking an angry letter to Nissan needs to happen.
