Help screwed my ignition barrel

[stevemc181]

Hi, I've just done something really stupid and have wrecked my ignition barrel I think!
I just read a post on facebook about unplugging the annoying warning beeper under the steering column when you leave the key in. It looked like a simple two minute job, but somehow I have managed to nip what looks like the transponder wires with my screwdriver when I was removing the key surround. Faaark!, turns over but won't start now and I'm supposed to be heading off on a 6 weeks trip on Sunday!

Does anyone know, can I source something like this from a wrecker or is there a way around it!

I think it may be a Saturday Morning trip to Nissan Spare Parts ..... That should fix it for you

Just spoke to a locksmith, he reckons he did a 2008 model not long ago and it was just a straight replacement with no programming required. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can hunt something down tomorrow. I'm not sure if any Nissan Spare parts dealers are open on Saturday in Perth, but I'll be on the hunt for sure.

I hate to say it....... But are you on any of the 4wd facebook for WA or Perth? Try and put a call out and see if anyone can help

Nah, not on too many facebook sites for the 4wd scene, wish I was never a member of ZD30 warriors now, LOL. I've just joined a GQ/GU Perth owners group, so see if anything eventuates. I figure worst case scenario it it will be a few days delay and I may need to change some plans on the way East, as I am committed to be on the Gold Coast for a wedding on a set date. I'll do the call around wreckers/dealers etc tomorrow and see what I can come up with.

Steve,

I have read of someone that did something very similar, pulled the NATS ignition key reader off, located and found the break in the thin copper wire coil, stripped off the coating and soldered together, and then used a hot glue gun to hold it all in place .... worked for him

I am not sure I would want to do this just before a big trip though.

yep, I read the same post and thought the same thing, not keen to be stuck on the Madigan line or Anne Beadell with a busted ignition. I know I've stuffed it, but what a prick of an idea to have it wound like this.

I had the same problem a few years back and caused by trying to get rid of those stupid beeps. I had to wait a couple of days for Nissan to get the part in. I should have tried to fix it myself but had already had it towed fo Nissans and could not get to it.
I would suggest trying to fix it yourself, nothing to loose.
