I guess that makes sense though. In our cars I don't think that the key tumblers physically interact with the locking mechanism. They simply open a ground circuit back to the immobilizer which then activates the door lock. (This is why it's possible to install aftermarket alarm remotes). Blown fuse = no immobilizer = locked out. You'd think they would make a fail safe so that the doors would unlock in this scenario. The car's not going anywhere without the immobilizer functioning anyway.

When the owners manual says that the laws of physics can't be broken by this car, I took it as a challenge...
