The car needs to be on before you pull the fuse

I believe it just needs to be in ACC mode. At least I'm pretty sure that's how I did mine... Although ON, but not started, works too.

Yep, this magnificent Z Roadster rolled up on the flatbed with the issue as I was getting some things taken care of on my coupe.:

I can't see the roadster having a different steering lock unit than the coupes....therefore it will be prone to the same problems.

ok, i'm not reading through all 43 pages to confirm this. But can someone confirm that in fact the car needs to be in ACC while the fuse is pulled? Is this so that the lock puts itself into the unlock position?

EDIT: silly me....first post on this page confirms it
