ORANGE KEY LIGHT WARNING.

[z350convert]

A strange thread caught my eye a couple of weeks back about a known 370z steering lock fault identifiable by the orange key warning. Take out the fuze was the advice. I thought mine was ok but out of the blue, the key light came on so I changed the key battery and it was fine. However, now the car is stuck in my garage and doesn’t switch on and lock stays stuck whichever key I use.

 

From what I read I need to give the mechanism a bit of a whack to try to release it. Then if it releases take out the fuze in ACC mode. I also read something about disconnecting the battery for a while but that seemed to have mixed results in terms of releasing the lock 

 

I take it Nissan might still fix it under warranty although being a 2010 car it is obviously well out of the period.

 

ANY ADVICE BEFORE I SPEND SEVERAL HOURS OF FRUSTRATING FAILURE TOMORROW?
