My husband has a 1997 Nissan pickup. Car thefts in our city have risen dramatically recently. When parking in a risky area (even the YMCA!) would there be a fuse that he could remove that would prevent the car from being stolen? The fuses are clearly marked and it would be easy to remove one and put…

Nothing would prevent it from being stolen. You have some options. You can pull the ECM fuse, which will keep the computer from working and thus the car from starting, but the computer will lose its stored driving adaptation memory and it might not run well for a while after that (while it re-lear…

ooh, Don’t have an owner’s manual here ( Ford dealer parts man ), but look in yours for fuses marked -possibly-; fuel, fuel pump, ignition, engine, coil or such to prevent it from running. Or maybe there’s a fuse for the starter which would even prevent it from being turned over. I’m not sure what s…

The trouble is that newer cars are so difficult to steal that most car thieves are either doing the tow truck method or have had to become somewhat adept automotive electricians and are unlikely to be long deterred by something as simple as a pulled fuse.

Since most car thieves are dim-bulbs, and don’t take the time to troubleshoot a vehicle that doesn’t start, removing a fuse would reduce your odds of having your truck stolen.Put a bad fuse in the Fuel Pump fuse position, and in the ECM position. If your truck, still, gets taken, it may be some con…

Pulling the fuel pump fuse would prevent the truck from starting, but NOTHING can prevent it from being stolen. Thieves can just back a roll-back up to the truck and haul it away without ever starting it. I wouldn’t pull any fuses at all. You have insurance, don’t you?
