Makes so much trouble to the legit owner when it fails. And I bet, professional car thieves would bypass it in a few minutes. It's just like antipiracy stuff for computer software and games.
$600 for part of a steering lock?! Time to find another car! These cars are going to impossible to maintain cost-effectively as little stuff and sensors begin to fail! These cars will be hitting the scrap yard at 10 to 15 years!
What a horribly complex mechanism. Designed to frustrate owners and make $$ for dealers. I see Nissan has not lost their love of elaborate locking devices. After my 2003 Sentra experience, In the words of Winnebago man, "no more!"
Chris - They design cars these days to get more money out of people! My 2006 Ford Territory/Explorer broke a heater rod which is a common fault for these & to replace it, I’m looking up to $1000 plus just for labour to have them pull the whole dash pulled out & replaced back & only $30 for the new part! :(
DAMN! Thanks so much, we watched the other videos also and noticed ours was a little different than theirs didn't have the two bolts holding it in so I came back and found your video, Thank God! We were about to open a can of worms glad to see you did it for us lol. So how did you get it out? Drop the column?🤷♀️oh we have an 09 murano LE AWD. 😒🙋♂️
I'm having a hard time breaking into my Steering lock. Tried drilling out the clamped parts, having a hard time getting the plate to come off. If I get the same part on eBay from someone else's Nissan, will my key work with it? Or do I still need to get Nissan or a locksmith involved? Thank you.
The ones you can push down are made different, they don't have the worm gear, they have an electromagnetic draw that when powered on pulls the lock down so yeah you can push those down but like you say, a person can push on this kind all they want and will never push it down. Gear has to be turned to make it come down.🙋♂️
FYI I run a recon center for a dealer in Camden NJ today I was able to purchace a steering wheel bypass from nissan for 75$ it bolts in place of the original steering lock plug play no programming it worked. I had previously orderd a doorman with the dongle to program it . Dont do it I have gone through hell with these over the years. Call your nissan dealer parts department with your vin there is a bulletin from Nissan and they can tell you if it will work with your nissan altima Troy
Thank you for the great video, I just experienced the same issue and did all the same steps as showed here, but still see "no key detected" symbol, not sure if something wrong inside the steering lock module such as pcb, please any thoughts? Thanks again.
all these steering locking system leave many individuals stuck . luckily for us most of them are straightforward to spot additionally the updated component is not really pricey . We have a do-it-yourself on it over at my channel also .
Hey mate, I got a question. I’m having same issues with my Nissan Fuga (M37) key fob opens the car as normal but nothing else. Can’t get anything on the dash. Only the key blinking and a big key saying “Warning Key system” anyway got an electrician to scan it and came up quite a few codes all related to the steering wheel lock and malfunction ignition switch. The electrician/ mechanic couldn’t fix it after couple hours trying everything he could. The car now is been siting on my driveway for 2 weeks. My question do you reckon I should try to bypass it? Is it going to last ? Thank you very. Your videos are amazing. ;)
Is that car push button start? It looks like it. They feel weird to drive as drove my sister in laws new Mazda & it took me a moment to figure out there was no ignition barrel & no key! I’m so use to my car where you stick a key in the ignition & turn over to start.
in the 50s,am saturday folks had tudor black ford w push button ignition ( I was 5 or 6),sat in the drivers seat looking at the neat ivory knob to help turn the wheel,pushed the button heard wwwwEERRR RRRRR
Tom Kelly - Cool. If the teenage girl didn’t yell out, would you have tempted to want to drive it? I was a very curious kid too & knobs, buttons & levels made me more curious wanting to know what they did. Hahahaha & yes it sucked when someone lagged on you because you couldn’t feed your curiosity no more.
It’s the other way for me now , until last April I always had cars with keys, I got a “new” car with push button, it takes me a split seconds with a keyed ignition car to think “oh right you put a key in start it”
@@MsCori76 I just sold my 2019 Chevrolet Sonic and purchased a 2005 Nissan Altima.. I felt weird with the push start button... Key in the ignition is best for me.
My 2009 Altima had the steering lock bypass or whatever done before I bought it. Where the back plate was removed and you move the gear. Owned it a year and one day it didn’t start. Radiator fan kicks on full blast. Now the windows won’t work. Also had a lock smith attempt to re program my key fob and now it doesn’t lock or unlock car. No communications through OBD reader. Anybody know what this could be?
If you logged the output signals on that thing you could probably make an emulator that would let you start a car after you ripped it out of the steering wheel.
Hi dear I think am gonna face the same problem. I have checked my car by computer and it gave me code b2109 It is written s/l relay off Please tell me is it the same your problem or not? By the way My car starting up but in low power
Hi, thanks for the video. I need to know if i will re-programme the steering lock module if i buy a brand new or install directly as illustrated in your video without reprogramimg
I called my nissan dealer and found out that this effects older altima/maxima and some z360. And does not effect Rogue s and not my 2015 rogue. The design has been changed.....?
What a piece of shit design to fail. That's why I prefer my cars with a normal ignition key that has never failed me with steering wheel lock and security. So I have to put a key in a hole. Oh well. Good find on fixing and repairing it as always!
The problem i have with my altima is that the lights and everything works but its not turning on at the beginning i had the same problem but now the car look like its going to turn on but it doesn't..like i said everything else works but it doesn't go on pls help i olso got a new steering lock but is still not working went i put it in it dosent work
Eliezer Negron Same thing is happening to me ! Did you figure out what is wrong ? Have you tried to jump start your car ? If so, did that work out ? Please help! Seems like we have the same problem.
Van Esa I take the car to a shop to a friend to put obd on the computer and computer came back reading code that the computer wosent working so i went on ebay buy one for 40dallors and he program it and the car is now running but it saids that the camshaft or crankshaft is bad .cus is turning on lazy ....but the thing is that my car before all this happen there was no lights on
Van Esa I pay $400 to get that fix to turn the car on because the steering wheel lock actuator went bad ......thats not included the camshaft crankshaft sensor thats another problem
Doesn't it suck to spend $600 to find out Nissan was replacing these under warranty for free with an emulator? The TSB gives a part number and a big bold warning that after the voluntary customer care campaign, the steering wheel WILL NOT LOCK. So nissan got rid of this system.
This was happening to you at 36k???? Holy God!!! Im at 78k and I just happened as I tried to leave work. My wife picked me up from work but I took that bastard off first and brought it home. I just held that lock down and drilled a cross hole through the aluminum then used a metal clothes hangar to make a pin that holds it all the way down.I have to get a ride back to work and try it out but if that doesn't work then ill bring it back up and bust that f'cker open and push back that black pin like some other vids explain. I appreciate the electronic explanation but I don't need to over think the circuitry if I don't have too. If you're going to go through all that then it seems like you could just bypass the entire block by jumping 1 or 2 sets of the connector pins from the harness.
more garbage to brake!! get a car from late 1990s early 2000s with push rod motor and put a carburetor and HEI dizzy and a manuel valve body and get rid of the ECM!!!!! shango066 bet you are looking forword to the day you can convert your exsplorer to a carburetor and HEI!! glad we have no smog laws in my state.
This did not work for me. It lasted a week. I had to get it swapped at the dealership but able to get the recall part. I paid 367. The best thing for people to do its report it so there can be a recall or service campaign. There is one right now but it is only for a select few. Report it to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that is the only way you can get reimbursed or get it swapped for free. The NHTSA will notify Nissan to do a service recall or service campaign announcement.
This thing is a super headache. I find it a useless piece of shit. This thing can give you the biggest headache of your life. Anyways, i paid 80 bucks for mine. Theres no way i'd pay 600 bucks for that crap. If i found the way to permanently bypass this, i'd do it without thinking it twice.
I don't know what we do without you shouldn't go you're one of the best teachers out there keep up the good work man
Even though I probably never will own a Nissan Altima, or repair old tvs and radios, I always enjoy your videos :D
so
altima is good man not that bad 🙂↔️
Wow, what a cluster! ...and I don't mean the dash! Nice job figuring that out!
Makes so much trouble to the legit owner when it fails. And I bet, professional car thieves would bypass it in a few minutes. It's just like antipiracy stuff for computer software and games.
600 bucks?! Goodness. Nice job fixing it! If i was the customer I would've just bypassed it and saved $600
How do you bypass it? Just purchased a 2005 Nissan Altima and 2 day won't start.
@@ivanhernandez7693 ur 05 isnt a push start... and out of curiosity.. do you still drive your 05?

I'm going to hang on to my 1984 chevy s-10 pickup. thank you very much.
This video was great ..i saved so much money thank u
thank you...got lucky the first time by hitting it...and now customer came back and no luck...
Just take the green board out and press the 2 button with tape then start the car finish 😉
Buddy at work has this issue now, appreciate the teardown!
Thanks for this video!! You saved me money from spending on a tow truck!!
1987 ob1 computer car is good enough for me😀

You can buy this part at eBay for less than 100 bucks
incredible, thank you!

Who else is only here because you're a subscriber for the vintage TV videos?
if shango does a broken fixem anything, it is usually interesting
mrhvids - I’m a subscriber for all his videos & him!
I’m even subscribed to his Mine Explorers channel as well. I love him & everything he uploads. :)
I dont have actuator under mines and that cord is no where under mines what should i do ?
So what exactly broke inside the lock box? Just run out of lube? The motor?
I have a question is the camshaft and the crankshaft in this veichle the same or do they do the same work
If you logged the output signals on that thing you could probably make an emulator that would let you start a car after you ripped it out of the steering wheel.
i doubt they are encrypted, its cant be too hard.. then again i have no programming experience (which is needed for the software side of things)
I have the same problem here in India. Tried with the steps you mentioned yet not working. Can you please help me on a call
If this made the car go into "on" mode and it still won't start whats the issue???
What happens if u don’t disconnect the battery.
Hi dear
I think am gonna face the same problem.
I have checked my car by computer and it gave me code b2109
It is written s/l relay off
Please tell me is it the same your problem or not?
By the way
My car starting up but in low power
Thank you, but I need to see how to remove it out
Wench
Me too i need a tutorial of opening the after me losing it out i found it difficult to open it
damn nanny devices,
Only 36,000 miles on a 2009? Pretty low miles..
i have those two lights but my car goes to the acc and on positions
I did everything you did... Got all the power on but the car still won’t start? Any idea?
Hi, thanks for the video. I need to know if i will re-programme the steering lock module if i buy a brand new or install directly as illustrated in your video without reprogramimg
Is that on a 2015 nissan rogue?
Julia M he said 09 Altima I think
jeffscomp - Yeah your correct. It’s only 3 years newer then my Ford.
I called my nissan dealer and found out that this effects older altima/maxima and some z360. And does not effect Rogue s and not my 2015 rogue. The design has been changed.....?
Good stuff
I did mine but now the car won’t move and the security key light is on.
Can i instal a used part?
Did you ever figure this out?
$600 for that!!! And I thought VAG parts were expensive...
I’ve lost my key would this still start the car been in the drive for about 5 months and I need it moving
I doubt it but can't say for sure bud ,But this video is spot on
gone in ... 120 seconds? :P
It can be defeated with a little know how if you know how to program micro controllers too.
Can I replace this part myself or do I have to go to a dealership
technically any part can be replaced yourself as long as you have the experience or tools...
Dude, just recap it...;)
