Main Fuse

I was just wondering if there was a main fuse that can be pulled out of the car so it does not start, if someone happen to try and take the car from a parking lot or something. I do have an alarm, wont say what kind and what it has so i can stay secure..any info would be helpful

you could take all of them out, i think there is one for the battery. Might wanna just try doing it yourself.

Check the manual for the location in the underhood fuse box of the 80A battery fuse. None of your car's OEM parts will work with this pulled. Including keyless entry/alarm, lol.

what you trying to make a home made anti theft device? lol, what you should do is just hide the battery in the trunk and have a hidden switch under your car or sometihng, so no power goes to the car, but have a lead for constant so you can keep memory in things ie:radio

killing the fuel pump is ur best bet and u can keep all the memory, including the ECU which would have to relearn every time u kill power to the battery

The immobilizer system built into a 2001+ Honda civic like yours is exceptionally robust. If you're looking for a way to stop your car from being stolen, start looking for ways to prevent it from being towed or loaded onto a flatbed truck because thats the easiest way to steal your car. Now if your car is stock, I wouldn't worry too much about this threat. There is no easy way to bypass the factory immobilizer system without prohibitive costs involved.

sounds like your gonna be away from the car for awhile eh? lol

im sure you could remove the main battery fuse..there wouldnt be any power at all in the car. not even the keyless will respond. but that'd prob disarm your alarm as well which isnt a good idea. if your leaving ur car at a spot for a long period of time, remove 2 of the wheels lol. no one could tow it, steal it,... worse that could happen is stealing parts off of it.
