Sorry for the stupid question but should i pull the fuse while the car is at the "on" position? As soon as you turn it off the lock engages so that would mean the car would need to be on for the lock to be disengaged before pulling the fuse?

Thanks!

Just did this, its seriously like 7 clips and you have access to the fuse box...

My Z is a 2010 how would I be able to tell if I need to do this? I keep reading the threads regarding this issue and all of then said early 2010's what is the difference between the 2010 model?

Look under your steering wheel at the lock and see what version you have. Rev A, Rev B, Rev C, or Rev D.

Chris you need to do it. leave the fuse at home too. weight savings for track bro. and since its in the front, its gonna help the balance!

With regards to the bdl99 and baers conversation has anyone figured out what the output wires (#106, 111, 97 & 98) from the S/L are going? I don't have access to the full schematics just going off the drawings in this thread. But I to would be a little concerned about what those output signals are feeding.

I agree that pulling the fuse will work I am just wondering what will not be getting signals from the S/L
