Infinity steering lock actuator bypass.

- I picked up this car and it would not start, it first looked like a key issue but then I was able to narrow it down to the steering lock actuator. This part costs $900 from infinity so do not mess it up unless you are 100% sure this is the issue.
Bro out of all the videos and forums this is the one that worked, I can’t thank you enough
Glad it worked for you too!
Im try it once im gone
Home
Thanks for sharing, definitely going to try this tomorrow
I got the module out off the column. Banging on it woudln't make it retract. As soon as I touched the lock pin, it retracted like it was under a load, so I think it had binded up in the lock position. I am going to put it back in , start the car and pull the 10 amp fuse next to the battery now.
To get off the two rounded security bolts holding on the lock module, slot them using a Dremel and a cut off wheel so you can use a flat head screwdriver. They were still too tight for me, so I hit the right hand side of the slot with a hammer and a long brass punch and they immediately came loose. I then used a stubby flathead screwdriver. Replace them with real M8 hex bolts. I have not put it back in yet to see if the car starts. Halfway through all this.
Great thinking! Thank you for the comment
@@nixfix2981 This turned out to be the problem, was that motor had gone bad on the lock module. I did not have to open up the lock module and fix the motor. I left it retracted and re-installed it with some new M8 bolts. Was real sure to plug every single plug back in including the airbags before connecting the battery, and when I connected the battery, the car started right up, no issues, as if nothing had gone wrong. No computer lights on the dash came on because I plugged in the air bag ahead of time. While the car was running I then went and pulled out the 10 amp Steering Lock Module Fuse thats on the hidden fuse panel behind your battery, and turned off the car. The car has ran fine now and I have started it a few times over the course of the day and so far, looks good.
cool definitely going to try this
How do you remove the actuator from underneath.
I had to break off the 2 metal studs
Ok, this thing is damn hard to get out. What did you use to break the studs? Thanks for your help
@@AlfredClifford-k8k my car was litterally on the way to the scrap yard. I broke it off with a hammer. You can also use a very small dremel or cut off wheel
@@nixfix2981 there isn’t enough room to use the hammer in there. Could you please share more details on how to remove it ? I really appreciate it .
Do all those 3 switches need to be pressed together for the car to start? Or not all three switched on? Thanks!
Yes, all 3 switches need to be pressed at the same time
Great! The cockpit lights when I press the button now! There is a progress when all 3 are pressed at the same time. Just cannot crank when I press the button again unfortunately...any ideas? The remote control locks and unlocks with ease but the car cannot start the engine even when the remote is touching the engine start button of the car.
@@nixfix2981 do you know any trick to make it crank? Now the dashboard lights up but cannot start the engine. The orange key lights up and stays.
@@nixfix2981 Hi. I am stuck :( The lights and the dashboard lights up but cannot turn the engine on. No crank of the engine after pressing the start/stop buton...
same exact problem here with my 09 g37 sedan i actually did this “bypass” a year ago back when there was no videos on it and i was just trying desperately to figure it out and get the car running again but it didnt work for me and i stayed with the same symptoms i originally had before tearing my actutor apart. i took my car to a shop here in phoenix arizona named infiniti motorsports and god what a waist of f*cking time and money that was, 400$ later still in the same shoe but i was basically charged 400 to pull my car out the shop and it ran for a day i noticed a water leak and i parked it and replaced the leaking coolant hose when i go to turn the car on to check if my coolant hose replacement did the job, my car wouldnt start again. went back to the shop got the run around and im contemplating taking it back and having the car held hostage again and be uncomfortable with the shops work or continue to sit on the car till i find a solution, so far ive replaced the ipdm, bypassed the ESCL , took apart the bcm inspected the motherboard and the sunroof drains everything is spic and span but im still getting the same issue, car goes into acc and on and will shut off on its own aswell but it will not cycle the engine.
How did you get to the 3 black boxes to tape up does it come apart?
Yes, you have to take the tan cover off
This worked for me to get it up back to normal and pulled the fuse. I appreciate the video 🫡
Glad it worked out for you.
How did you take the actuator out.
Can a 07 skyline and 08 be the same?
It may be similar but it doesn’t look like the same part.
I got power jus no crank at all goes into on mode n I don’t hear a click for the starter 👎🏼
Are all the switches actually making a connection?
