Would anyone know how to do this for a 2008 G37S?

Steering Lock: cut one wire. /switch optional - Nissan 370Z Forum

I've been scouring the web for service manuals, etc. to see if this can be solved. So far, I'm confused as to what to cut

Can someone with experience advise?

Thanks

 

Don't cut. Pull the fuse next to battery that says steering lock. Must follow the procedure and have car in acc mode steering wheel unlocked. I'm thinking of doing the same as my 08 sedan is not always starting first time

 

 

Hey Bro,

Thanks for replying!

I did just that last night and now it's cranking/driving without issues - However, the service light is on now.

Did this happen to you as well?

 

What light is on. Check engine? Or what? What icon?
I have not done it yet..

 

On the bottom left you'll see the "Service Engine Soon" light on. The Yellow Key icon is gone, but now it's been replace by this new light

 

That's a check engine light. Not sure if connected but super easy to get the code and let us know what the code is

 

I'll have to run to the auto parts store in a bit and check then.

Did this happen to you as well?

 

No. Haven't done the fuse yet. Curious if it's even related...

 

Well, mine wouldn't crank at all. Apparently, this happens to a lot of Nissan and Infiniti's

No recall either, if not, we'd all have this replace no problem..

So there was a Yellow Key indicator light that was on, to the left of the Service Engine Soon light.

The solution I found was, I ended up cutting the Brown Wire (Terminal 1) on the Steering Wheel Lock Actuator harness AND removed the Fuse as well.

It now starts up without an issue.

The dealership wanted to charge $1550 to replace the Actuator

 

So the fuse didn't work by itself?

 

No, for some reason removing the fuse didn't work for me

 

Gotcha. So cutting the brown wire + fuse removal worked?
Was the check engine light on right after?

 

Yes, the car cranked right up without an issue once I did both

However the CEL came on immediately.

Try troubleshooting yours and let me know how it works out

 

Yea man. Grab that code asap and we can see if its related
