Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 2023
Does anyone know if there is a fuse that can be pulled out that will stop the car from being started?
I have tried pulling the one for the Fuel Pump but the car still starts with that 20 Amp fuse out.
Thanks

Curious, why do you want to do this? And there may be another way to achieve same result?
Agree with TDT. Why would you want to do it? I sort of get it if you're going on holiday for an extended period of time (months) but in any case if someone wants it they'll take it at all costs.
Just fit a battery terminal switch (I have had to do this on previous classics where there was a parasitic charge) OR fit a liteblox battery this has a coded cut off via bluetooth. Kills all supply cannot be turned on without the code.

Have you tried removing the fuel pump relay (not the fuse)?
Thanks Lenny. I'll have a look at that.
Thanks to others, but I really wanted answers not more questions. But thanks anyway for all the input. I have reasons why I want to do this.
Thanks

This is PH, full of t
ts that will give you advice and an opinion you didn't ask for.
Now, along comes a div to say "case in point" or some other predictable s
te.
Many years ago a car alarm installer told me the simplest way to stop a car being started was to install a simple hidden switch in the negative feed to the fuel pump.
My friend, after his F30 335d got stolen, has fitted a number of theft countermeasures on his Volvo.
Rather than killing a fuel pump or something, he has a hidden switch attached to the fuse for the start/stop button.
Even if the key was relayed, (which it won't be in a faraday cage, and kill switch installed on it!) the thief would be in the car and unable to start it as the button is completely dead. They would be stuck forever trying to figure it out. Very simple and effective if you ask me.

That's interesting.
But what are you referring to when you say the fuse for the Start/Stop button?
My Cayman is ignition key operated.

All F Series BMWs have start buttons, not a traditional key/barrel
Yes as has his Volvo
With a key ignition i suppose this is a non starter unless the ignition barrel has a fuse itself.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
