Narrative:

Established on the localizer for runway 6 with the gear selected down, the nose steering did not arm. The gear indicated 3 green and no red and pressing the arm switch did not engage the system. After landing, the control wheel master did not engage the steering either. We cleared the runway, stopped and pulled and reset the nose steering circuit breakers with no effect. Due to the difficulty in steering, we elected to have the passenger taken to the FBO by van and have the aircraft towed. We advised the tower, passenger and FBO of the situation. Airport operations took the passenger to the FBO. When the FBO tug came to get the aircraft, they did not get a clearance when crossing runway 1. There was no immediate conflict with the tug on the runway, but the next aircraft was 7 mi out. The airport operations vehicle led the way while the aircraft was towed to the hangar.
