ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

Dante Rising · 02-11-2013, 01:43 AM

Thanks again for the assist, everyone.

Two final questions:

1) If a few light taps don't work, I can basically bang on the SLU as hard as I want correct? After all, this is the component that Nissan is going to replace if this workaround fails?

2) So simply cutting the brown wire has no negative consequences? I didn't see any in any forum posts. Due to my inexperience with cars I prefer to go this route, even though a step-by-step process was posted for the fuse box. Someone on the forum mentioned that if you do not replace all the seals properly when doing the fuse workaround, water can get into the box and cause several thousand dollars in damage. Not sure I want to tempt fate...

Thanks!
