Please Help. Car won't Start

***FOB Key Not working. Car wont start Windows down!! ***

My windows are stuck down and it is snowing outside. Couldnt get care started so I was chacking fuses under hood when I leaned on key in pocket rolling all my windows down.

******PLEASE HELP**********************************

Yellow key light on. Cant turn on the accessory. Cant roll up windows (hard key doesn't work). I live in Alaska. 100 MILES FROM THE DEALER.

I've changed the car battery, the primary fob battery, and have tried the back up fob.

My brake lights do work.

I've noticed that the steering wheel lock is not engaging though.

All the while, though, the yellow light stays on while I'm seated in the car with either or both keys.

Yes I've tried to sit key in key boot. without any changes. Not even sure why they put that in the car.

And Yes, I've checked all the fuses.

Follow-up

Car at dealer. Had to have it towed 100 miles. Dealer says it's the steering lock mechanism. Part is back ordered for 3 weeks. Windows still down.

This is a know issue with nissans. See: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...rly-2010s.html
