Re: Theft prevention by pulling a fuse?

Pretty easy, just pull the IDM and Starter relays. Drop the front fuse panel cover down and take several relays with you. Unlikely that that a thief will show up with a selection of relays. I wouldn't do this habitually as you will loosen up the fit in the fuse panel for the relay connections. If you are looking for a fuse type lock out, get a Cyclops anti-theft remote. Lots of things that you can do, unplug the CPS would also do it. You really need three layers of security, an alarm all that is a noisemaker to start the clock on the thief to hurry up, a physical barrier like an Autoloc 2000 not one of those silly red clubs a three year old could remove in 5 seconds, and a relay lock out like the Cyclops. If an expert mechanic were to show up with plenty of time to diagnose the problem then there is nothing that you can disable that he could not re-enable. However, if a typical thief were that smart and capable then he would have a real job. IMO, truck thief = horse thief, should go back to hanging on the spot but only those that you miss with the 12 gage. 106
