Ron Wyden and Edward Markey urged the F.T.C. to investigate how car companies handled the data from millions of car owners.

For my Ford, the manual was very helpful. Taking a look at the fuse box diagram, I was able to remove the fuse for the modem.

Thankfully I was able to verify that the modem power was secured because when I enter the infotainment settings to view the modem serial number, I can no longer see the modem serial number. It is just blank.

This won’t work for all vehicles because the modem may have the same fuse as critical equipment.
