DemandedAce, assuming it is the ESCL, I might be tempted to go to a dealership and see if you can't get them to do something for you. Even call corporate and ask for goodwill coverage. Explain that your Rev D unit is failing and is not covered by the recall even though it should be. Nissan gave Rev D unit to late-year 2010 models and early-year 2011 models and then got rid of the ESCL completely after the recall of Rev A, B, and C units. Rev D units are still prone to failure.
That's not a bad idea at all man, esp since I can get it working maybe I can just get them to cut it down from the column and leave it dangling (so all the electronics work just not the mechanical side).

If the weather were nicer right now I would be in there myself looking into how to remove it from the steering column, but I just can't bring myself to do it in sub-freezing temps haha
