Loadmaster Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The revival of this thread has reminded me again to get shot of the fuse, despite mine being a late model. I wince every time I push the start button and hear the sound of the lock releasing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintopete58 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I bought my 370 October last year 2010 105k as soon as I got it home I removed it . It's now something I don't think about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom cover is still on. RAC never came had to leave the car. Going back this morning. Maybe i can ask him to try that with cover off. Also need divine intervention as theres no guarantee it will release on him removing cover and tapping it Is it okay to order another used one for £86? Its a 000D part or 2011 automatic it was pulled from. Then get the mechanic to fit then remove the fuse. Someone said the fuse can be blown and reinserted after or a tape wrapped around it. Also will I need to replace the BCM (body control module) as well? Or should i just try the replacement lock first? Maybe I can get a mobile mechanic or garage to fit this part.

The blown fuse or tape wrapped solution is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 it was just a flat battery...RAC guy wanted nothing to do with fuse removal...Cuz i needed his jump starter incase it didnt start straight after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 What a relief. It means you have an "extra" £2k to spend on other stuff instead of a new steering lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Yep All sorted removed the fuse following youtube instructions. Ordered a new Bosch battery. Going in for MOT this week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Yes just the issue of TPMS light thats receiving no readings from all 4 wheels. I need them to test with new sensors and go from there. Hopefully they can do it quickly and its not a faulty module and get the MOT done this week!

GranTurismoEra Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I may have a steering lock for sale if anyone needs one. Returning it may be a hassle. Was taken off a 2011 so its the 000D version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S5 008 77AH.....a bit tight on the tray. wider than OEM. Some ppl on this forum bought it. It is a bit bigger and needs some wiggling. Its shorter than OEM so might need different fasteners. Has to be — + to fit. Terminals facing the bumper. Negative on the Left and Positive on the Right.

GranTurismoEra Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 These clowns didnt pick up the lock from customs so was returned to me. I got a Nissan Steering lock for sale if anyone ends up with this issue. Pulled from a Nissan 370 GT not Chinese. At least it will give you a second chance to pull the fuse. Just PM.

If you look up where the pedals are that metal structure with the steering shaft going through it is the steering lock. Unlikely to fail on the later models. Ive got a spare if anyone needs to replace. Save a thousand pounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware that the later models are "less likely to fail", but it's still a worry and the reason why I'll probably pull the fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Ive had 2 Nismos covered 30k miles i doubt you will have any issues. It would be the later version thats fitted. Yeah it better to be safe than sorry. Mine is pulled although i have a spare lock Im not sure what fitted from new means. Maybe he meant later version of the steering lock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Not a 370z but had the Electronic steering lock fail on my merc, luckily it was on my drive, mercedes wanted 1k for parts alone I think it was let alone getting it recovered to a garage. In the end I managed to remove the steering column, remove the ESL and fit an ESL emulator for about £100, highly frustrating when it occurs as the car is next to useless when it fails, the merc couldn't even get out of park. So if you can prevent this by removing a fuse I would highly recommend doing it as a priority 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Lock failed on mine on 28th Dec, towed away to Nissan and still not fixed. 2012 GT, so not covered by voluntary recall/service. Also cited the fact I had only one service with Nissan as a reason for not undertaking replacement in courtesy/discount. I have only had the car one year and had my only service at Nissan. £950 the current going rate for steering lock part and fitting at Nissan for your information! Also based on posts elsewhere seems to be £2,200 for discs and pads all-round for anyone with money to burn. Hope the original post helps people avoid the issue though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you eventually get this fixed? Mine has just ha dthe key light and no longer starting, left stranded at the train station unfortunately! Car is a 2010 that was serviced with the same Nissan dealer for 5 years, hopefully they should have covered the recall and maybe have a chance at them fixing again (not holding out hope).

pintopete58 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 We're is the car now . I'm sure zedmanalex said remove ignition cover and keep tapping ignition barrel with a hammer/ object I don't know if you need the key in the ignition. Mines a 2010 ragtop I removed fuse on purchase . Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try a hail mary and jump start it when I get my hands on some leads since it worked for GTEra. Might need to get it towed back home to try a DIY fix.
