So a company van was stolen 2 spaces down from me out of my apartment complex last night. Although I think it was targeted for what was in it im a little nervous. My car sits all week in my complex while I drive a company car during the week. Does anyone know where the starter fuse is for our cars? It would be in the box under the hood so a diagram would be nice. Or besides removing the batter from the vehicle have a better idea?
How easy is it to steal our cars without the keyfob? I understand that if someone wants your car bad enough they'll find a way to take it. But does lexus anti theft shut the car down if it thinks it being stolen?
Ok so I see a fuse labeled STARTER #13 in the fuse box by the batter. But its in a row of fuses with a plastic cover over it. They're not the standard looking fuses and its dark so im afraid to mess with them. Anyone have an idea of how they come out?
Also in the fuse box on the driver side I see some others such as IG2 (ignition system), Fuel system, and multiport fuel injection system. Will removing those keep the car from starting? Last thing I want to do is mess with the wrong fuse and shut down my computer system in my car. Which happened once before but that was from a bad battery ground.
Did this with my boosted Honda when I took it to work on sunny days.
Im looking for something simple like a fuse. I use to pop my starter fuse out of my jetta when I took it into the city back in the day. Hoping to find something similar. I know this car is little more sophisticated so I dont want to just start pulling fuses and seeing if my car turns on. I dont want the computer to shut down on me

I hope you know now a day even a few years back like in 04 thieves carry ecu with them. I know i heard story where i guy go shopping takes out the ecu comes back and car gone. Of course it was a honda.

Yeah, but tuned to run 1000cc injectors running E85? Probably not. I had also parked in the a place on purpose where no tow truck could back towards me.
My mechanic told me to pull the EFI fuse which has something to do with the fuel injection I believe. The car may start but will stall. Also the dealer said the car cannot be started without the keyfob because of the embedded chip
