Does this make any sense, or should I push back on this?
The fuse that we have been removing supplies power to the locking pin drive motor in the SLU. The communication that they are talking about is powered from another source.

If you are comfortable removing a trim panel in the engine compartment, pulling the fuse is a pretty easy DIY job.

The fact that your service department is either ignorant of how the system works or is blowing smoke up your a$$, leads me to suggest finding another dealer - one that has worked on a few 370Zs before. From what I could tell, mine was the first Z my local service dept had seen. I quickly changed to another dealer.
