Nissan March 04 - unable to get steering lock off

bbrown00, Jul 22, 3:36pm
Silly question and I think I know the answer.
Lost Key for the car, had new key cut. Unlocks doors but won't allow me to start car. Steering lock on, and can't turn key.
Do I have to have a new coded key cut for it?
Thanks

Have you tried taking the "weight" off the steering lock?
In my experience though the 04 march has a "chip" key -so yes you need a coded key --or key fob

Yes you do, it sounds like its not recognising the key. What is the KEY icon on the gauge panel doing?
