Excellent work guys. I had thought about pulling the fuse if mine ever went to try and get it going. Great to know this solves the steering lock dilemma:tup:
Glad we could help:tiphat:

It feels good to give back to my fellow Z guys:hello:

I don't see where the Throttle Control is fed by the SL relay. The schematic does not show the wires as connected to each other, merely passing by. A black dot indicates a connection. They both receive power from the same wire, but that is before the fuses....

nice find, guys! :tup: keep us posted on any ill side effects. :D

I see a lot of angry people with $500 steering locks shaking their heads.....
meh, im not angry. i will be running the steering lock as it is until my RevC fails... which might be never during my ownership. if it does fail, i will put my RevB in the car and decide to do this or the brown wire snip.

if yours goes.. pulling the fuse wont help. its too late. have to pull the fuse while its in unlocked position.

Basically same concept as the wire, cept no cutting, no cost for harness / plugs etc.

Good job Dai

I like the part of you holding that little fuse.:roflpuke2:

P.S.. come to think of this mod can be considered weight savings no??

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, I just wanted to give you guys a heads up for potential problems. I guess you were well aware of this.
You're looking at it wrong. There's so much going on in that area of the drawing I can see where one might get confused, but just going of of this schematic the TCM relay is NOT affected by the S/L fuse.

Your wrong!!!

All of those relays are powered by the same wire with a fused wire branched off to the side for each relay the Node you are referring to is a junction point which goes to the Throttle Control relay it has it's own fuse but is branched off the same wire the S/L is.

I have no idea how you come up with this by read the diagram you posted.:shakes head:

Ok, I'm wrong. I see it now.

Thanks for making me feel at home :tup:

You show signs of being a big man to admit your wrong.

Have a rep and a smile.:hello:
