That's good to know. When you remove the battery for storage, do you then lock the door with the physical key? Maybe the signal from tumbler to the immobilizer is just for arming the alarm then? If that's the case though I don't understand what the fuse would have to do with it. Hopefully the OP gets it sorted and let's us know.
Thinking about this actually jogged my memory a bit. When I first bought my car, an older porsche enthusiast told me a story of his buddy who bought a 986 brand new around 2000, and in the first year of ownership he managed to lock himself out of the car to the point that the keys would not work and he had to have the car towed to the dealership to have it fixed. I don't remember the resolution of the story, unfortunately Maybe this problem isn't so isolated after all?
