I will be pulling the fuse next available opportunity once it's back in it's spot in my garage... I may appeal my case with NISSAN Consumer Services see if I can tweak their mercy and get a refund, total or otherwise...

Pulled the fuse this morning finally, now I can rest at ease knowing that this problem is not going to bite me in the future...

I just heard back from Nissan Consumer Affairs, and they have declined to reimburse me for any of the cost. Very Disappointed and totally ticked off. This is known defect that Nissan knew about, sent out a recall about as well as a Technical Service Bulletin, but they expect us to deal with their design flaw on our nickel. Shameful.

I stuck camera under dash today to see what version my JDM 40th has..
its build is feb 2010,,

car is a rather fresh import was a dally driver so the story goes .

Well it has no sticker Its shinney only has one marking a bigish "M"
has wires going in at one end

its that shinney you can see the floor mat badge in it at one part of video.

anyone know about this type , should I leave it or pull the fuse ?.

Question why does car have a port dofer under the dash and another one in the centre console?.

The steering wheel lock is behind the box with the M on it. Have no clue about the M box. It maybe goes to that thing on your dash.

The 2 ports are for 12 volt power.

So uhm. I've got a 2011 and i had pulled the fuse... then 6-7 months later it happened again... i couldn't understand why.. So i put the fuse back and voila it worked, and then i proceeded to pull the fuse out again. I still can't explain what happened or why. Maybe cutting the wire is a better method or mine was a one off situation.. not sure

Well, that's interesting...


I have kept the fuse in the car, just could not discard it. But then, I am unusually cautious... some say paranoid...
