Hey, new member to the group here with a 2006 Infiniti M45. I have also now having the same issue with my ikey lighting up and the car not starting. I also think mines is stuck in the open position because the steering wheel is free when the car is locked. I have tried everything from tapping to actually hammering, to actually almost cutting off my left finger *long story* on a attempt to get my car back working. I was actually in a little fender bender a couple days ago where someone hit my on my right side, bent my fender and bumper in and the car worked fine I was able to leave the accident scene and park the car at home, but I went out the next day to crank the car with no success. Had anybody found a fix or work around to this for our cars. I have looked for the fuse specifically for the escl but have no been able to find it. What about a part number and the current updated revision that they are on would be a great help to even look into replacing it. Thank so much
Jester how did you get this resolved? have same issue on M45 - the new part is dealer only item and very costly. Also I understand programming must be done if you replace this module? Does anyone know if a locksmith can do this programming? Used wheel lock units can be had much cheaper but not sure about reprogramming. I see EDBWOY hacked his units together to get it working would it be possible to buy a used wheel lock box and possibly put the same controller on it (presuming it's the mechanical aspect that is non-operational?) Also strangely the car stalled out and I noticed the ikey icon staying lit after it wouldn't start (before I was getting the push to start and just click problem intermittently for a long time I now presume the wheel lock was the culprit on that) ... ACC and everything works ... keyfobs open doors etc but you cannot crank. Unfortunately I puled the battery connector thinking maybe a reset of the system might let it start before I saw the ikey light. After tow I checked to see if any OBD codes were set and got U1000 CAN communications - (serial)... so would that mean that the computer isn't seeing this wheel lock module at all perhaps and the controller in it died (resulting in car shut down?) -- the wheel is NOT locking at all when car is off now - it did lock before it stalled and wouldn't start again - any input would be appreciated and thanks in advance
