not sure right now what fuse it is. Probably a 15A.
Using a car battery and connecting + and - at each side of the fuse is enough to blow the fuse instantly.
(wouldnt do it with the used car battery in the trunk, or atleast completly disconnect before)
You can also break the fuse from the inside with a small flathead screwdriver. No one will notice unless you remove it and look closely.
I am really not sure how the thiefs use the OBD tho...
They break into the car plug the OBD in and program a new key. Does the OBD provide electricity even without ignition or do they use external power in order to access the modules?
If the OBD got no power with ignition on then they use external power, a broken fuse wont help for sure. Otherwise this would be an insanely good theft prevention without any costs.
