Ok, so from what I read. By tapping on the SLU with a rubber mallet and simultaneously tapping the push start with no brake/clutch, sometimes the vehicle will go into ACC mode. Once it's in that mode, all I have to do is pull the Steering lock fuse, right?
If so, I have attached pictures of the Fuse Schematic on my Altima, along with what/where I think the SLU is? (I think its under this pannel?) and the actual fuse box. Now, I'm pretty sure the fuse I need to pull is the 10A which is the first red fuse on the bottom left of the box, right? I know I may be repeating questions or asking stupid one's, but I just want to make sure I'm going to be doing this right. And if the SLU is under the panel under the steering wheel, how the heck do I get that panel off? |

Edit: Looking at the first pic of the fuses, yes, it is the top red (10A) fuse of the set of two red fuses and two blue (15A) fuses in the bottom left corner. No panel to remove on the 370Z. See if you can track down the Factory Service Manual (FSM) for your car.

Yep. You have all the relevant info and have it all sorted with the right understanding. Good work.
So, once you find your SLU you'll be good to try this out. I'm hoping it works for you because then we can chalk up another save thanks to this forum lols. And it'll expand the scope of the coolness, cuz the cost savings fix will be out there with our NISSAN brothers. Phone Tapatalk *nix ... |

Awesome, I am excited to work on this. I will be working on it right after work and hope I can turn it on real quick so I can yank that fuse out.
On a side note, I posted on even though my claim over the phone hasn't gone anywhere and they told me to forget about it. I posted on Nissans facebook the other day and they asked me to private message them my information, so I did. Well they responded to me today stating that my case was under review and I would hear from a different agent within 24-48 business hours and gave me a number to call 7A-7P M-F to speak with someone about my case. So, I hope they do something, otherwise I'm still going to continue to file reports and all sorts of stuff until somethings done. |

I had filed one through the NHTSA, and it shows up on AFRC, not sure if they are the same, but there are tons on the AFRC site. And I clicked your link and went ahead and filed another one.

Steering lock (s/l) failed last week (3/21/13) on revised part #C. Odd thing about it, is I was planing on removing the fuse today. Oh well, could not have happened any sooner. Been driving on borrowed time. Replaced with CURRENT rev part D. Driving a 2009 sport model with 45K miles. This is the original steering lock. Total dollar out of pocket = ZERO. Extended warranty and towing picked up by extended warranty. Picking up the harness.

Whelp, I tried the hammer method along with moving the steering wheel up and down for a few hours the other night, and nothing. So I'm currently waiting for the Dealer to try and make me a deal along with the executive office for Nissan. I will know everything by tomorrow and will keep you guys updated!

Hi All,
I bought a 2009 Z Touring with sport package this past Saturday afternoon with 11K miles on it. Absolute mint condition. A real garage car. Story -Pregnant woman traded it in on a family vehicle at my neighborhood Honda dealership. A couple tried to buy it ahead of me but I knew the sales guy and he got me the deal instead of them. I'm sure I probably paid too much due to the other people breathing down my neck but hell I don't care. I love this car. I burned 1/2 a tank of gas playing with it the rest of the day Saturday. Today leaving for work I saw the "key/fob" battery symbol on my garish orange LCD porthole but the remote unlocks the car fine, so I got to work and then cut the brown wire after ACCY high and SW unlocked and no problem since. No way I'm gonna be stranded for an issue I know about ahead of time. If it weren't for this fantastic forum I'd never have known what to do. I didn't pull the fuse 'cause I'm lazy and can solder the wires together if I ever need to repair and then put erectrical tape on the joint. |
