I need to leave my Evo in a semi-public place for a bit and was wondering which fuses, if any, I could pull to keep the car from starting? I use this trick on my RX7, pulling a fuel pump fuse and I'd like to do something similar so the only way anyone is taking my car anywhere in on the back of a flatbed truck! Help greatly appreciated.

 

I don't know about pulling fuses, but I have always been of the mind that I would rather someone steal my car and I never see it again then to try to steal it and mess a bunch of stuff up in the process. Atleast if it's stolen I can just get another one with the insurance money.

 

Shouldnt the same trick work in the evo? I cant say ive ever heard someone do it, but it'd work. There are several fuses you could probably yank.

 

I blew a fuse once and my car wouldn't start at all, no power, nothing. Problem is I don't remember what fuse that was. Also I didn't really know at the time either. I either looked in the owners manual, or a fuse diagram located inside the fuse box. Check it out and you should be able to figure something out. They usually make the diagrams pretty dummyproof.

 

There is one in the fuse box under the hood. Or unplug the computer...

 

its in the long little skinny fuse box to the left of the big box i will take a pic and show you which one to take out i do it all the time when im at disneyland and ****

 

I know there are two fuses marked "engine" underneath the hood. I'll try those or perhaps the fuel fuses. If anyone has a "sure fire" fuse to pull, post up!

I like my Evo. I wouldn't want it stolen. Even if I were given a new replacement. It's less than a year old to begin with!

 

Pull the ECU out. It's simple enough.

 

Screw it, pull them all! Hahah! Ecu too!

 

If they now what fuse all they need is a wire to connect the fuse holder.

 

take out the fuse for the fuel pump.

 

A relay might work better then....

 

No, just pull the main fuse (its a big one) out from under the hood. You can use a relay to open the starter wire up as well, but, make sure you attatch the relay to ignition instead of 12v's. You don;t want that relay open all the time, as it will drain your battery after a few days.

 

evo's have a theft problem?

 

Pull the igntion fusable link. I was blowing mine in my DSM and it wouldn't do #$^%. I believe it was a pink 30A "molar"... It looked like a big pink tooth. Should be under the hood in the Evo as well.
