"Pull the fuse"? Fitting a blown fuse would cover your problem!! (up to a point).

The much earlier "Steering lock: cut one wire, switch optional" thread......noted the need (certainly in Europe starting last year) to have an "operational lock" ....so fit a secret switch ... which you can switch on/off any time....and, done at the right time, gives hugely improved security over Nissan's.
"cutting the Brownie" thread was great photos posted by rhd.
Some time later a bear traced the brown wire to the fuse in the IPDM..."for real".
