What fuses to pull to disable ability to start my truck?

I'll be out of town for a couple weeks and will have my truck parked outside during that time. The key fobs will be in a faraday bag and in a safe.

However, I'd like to insure that no one can nefariously start my track and steal it.

Are there some fuses I can pull that will insure that won't happen?

Starter relay… or just have good insurance.

Would that be fuse #7 - 40A 'Starter solenoid'?

I have good insurance - just don't want the hassle of all that's involved with a theft.
You could also look at @Jimmy07 s device as well. I also disabled the proximity door handle setting. That way the truck doesn't send a signal to the key fob. That's how lowlife can clone your fob.

I bought his device but haven't installed it yet. Right when his device arrived in the mail the transmission went out on my truck and it spent the next 2 months at the dealers getting replaced. Then our trip came up (fly out tomorrow) and, etc etc. So I'll pull the fuse this time and when I get back home @Jimmy07's device is going in.

How did you disable that? I just installed jimm07's device (works perfectly), but it would be nice to have a method whereas the truck doesn't send a signal. That'd be one way to keep idiots from even poking around.

Turn off the "Passive Entry" in the radio. You will need to press the unlock button on the keyfob to get into the truck but no big deal. It will no longer look for the fob when locked.

Thank you. Much easier than disconnecting the battery. :cool:
