Distressed damsel here.
Long story short: someone stole one of my keys/fobs to a vehicle that is in my name/not roadworthy due to suspension/and is not currently insured. So with that being said, it doesn't need to be on the road; PERIOD. Lucky for me, I grew up in a garage and he didn't, so I was thinking about yanking the PCM combo.
Until I can re-key (because I know he's not going to return it) and do all the other fun legal stuff that goes with this mess, can't I just remove the fuse set to prevent my truck from being taken by said theif? What long term damage would it cause to my truck, if any? I can't personally think of any, but I don't know everything either (write it down boys lol), so any experience/input anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
I know repeat installation of said fuses has the potential to blow other components, but I'm referring to a one-pull-and-done situation. Would it cause any issues with the ECM or anything otherwise that I'm not forseeing? Because if the truck is just sitting, I can't think of anything going wrong.
Thanks in advance,
L.L.
