Steering wheel lock failure 2010 Nismo

[Sidz]

You can add me to the RevB fail list.
I parked the car in my normal spot at work yesterday and haven't been able to move it out since.

The yellow key light came on. I did the reading and concluded steering wheel lock failure. The key works just fine on doors. The lights all work fine as well as horn so no battery issues.

I went through the steps of getting it unlocked to drive to the dealer and grab the part but no luck.
---battery disconnect for 10 min but that just brought my windowsdown
a little bit every time I opened the door ( good thing it rained here all
night in Dallas)

--- I unplugged the steering lock mechanism and tapped at it gently then
not so gently, plugged it back in and beat at it some more while
pressing the start button. I did every direction possible for about 45
min. I tried this morning for a good hour as well. Nada

I ordered the RevD, 48700-JF00D- they had it in stock and I've DIYed the removal and install. It's rather annoying to be stranded. I was lucky this happened at work, 5 miles from my house but for those who don't have another car or are far from home this is the biggest inconvenience on something Nissan KNOWS will fail and refuses to recall it.
