I just had my '09 in to the dealer to have a 4 wheel brake job done. Several years ago when the lock problem was first discovered I installed one of those bypass harnesses. When I picked up my car the service writer said "oh by the way there was a recall on your car concerning the steering lock so we performed the upgrade free of charge". I have no idea what they did, I guess I need to stick my head under the dash tomorrow and see if they disconnected the harness. However, when starting the car and turning it off I do not hear the "bzzzzt" sound that the lock mechanism used to make when engaging and disengaging before I installed the bypass harness. Any ideas what the recall was supposed to entail and if there still may be an issue with the so called upgrade ?

Since you aren't hearing the locking pin retract/extend, they probably left the harness in place. Easy enough to stick your head under there and look.

I think I will let the dealer replace it under recall and pull the fuse again when I get her home.......

I looked under the dash today. It appears that the dealer installed a Rev. E steering lock unit, and my harness is still in place and connected to it. The mechanic was probably clueless and just disconnected the harness from the old lock unit and then plugged it back in on the new one. Well at least I don't need to pull the fuse.

I'm sure my Rev D still works fine. It just hasn't been plugged in for the last 6 years

Hey guys, just wanted to remind everyone to make sure you pull the fuse for the steering lock even if you had it repaired under the recall. I had mine changed out in March 2013 and it just went out and left me stranded. It costed almost 1200 bucks to fix plus getting it towed to the dealership.
I called Nissan Corporate and opened a case with them for a reimbursement since this unit should not be going bad this quickly if it was replaced under the recall and they pretty much said there is nothing they are going to do about since it was already replaced under recall once. Don't take the chance, just pull the fuse. |

I know this is an old forum but hopefully you guys can help me out. So I followed the instructions and pulled the fuse out but it didn't fix the issue, takes multiple times and a random number of tries to get it to start. Is it possible that some sort of the damage has happened that by simply pulling out the fuse won't fix it?

I agree with SouthArk ... sounds like the ESCL is not the problem. Were you having any issues like this before pulling the fuse?
