How many of you have pulled the steering lock fuse?

geddy lee · 08-21-2012, 08:57 AM

Just curious. I have a 2009, pulled mine a couple months ago

kenny's 370z · 08-21-2012, 09:08 AM

i have and it will not be going back in.

Figured I'd pull mine even though I hadn't had an issue with it yet. Better safe than sorry, especially while I'm out of country.

Is this to avoid steering lock failure? I am a ticking time bomb regarding steering lock.

What is consequence if fuse is missing and system would have blown fuse?

Same here. 09 Z. Only 13 thousand miles, so I might as well pull it when I do my exhaust install.

Pull out method works best, but it feels better leaving it in.

i'm scratching my head too. i have an 09 w/94k on the odo and haven't done this

for the people who say "i havnt had a problem yet.." well thats the problem, it will just happen. From what people have said, theres no way to tell that it is going to fail. just one morning, or evening, its done for.

It is so easy. Good job and sleep well. If my car would not start at the track with all the effort to get there, I would be so mad. It plagued my mind. Now I do not worry.

I like your humor.

And no reach around, he really is a handy puller.
