I have a Focus LX 4 door and I want to disable the button inside the car that opens the trunk so nobody can open the trunk exept me with the key. Anyone knows what wires or fuses to disconnect?

If your electrical saavy you could cut the supply wire and put a relay in between the switch and its power source, then find a 12v source that is only on when the key is and wire that to the trigger. This way the button only works when the key is in the ignition.
on my car i have a magnent reed switch in line and bi-passed the button. so to open the trunk you need a magnent (which i keep stuck in the car) no theif would figure it out in a pinch and it keeps functionality the stock button is left in place with no wires behind it (so that in a pinch a theif couldnt figure it out)
I'll trade you, mine is broke[] I think that there is just a plug thing behind it if i remember correctly, just take the big part of the guage cluster off and unplug it.
actually i had my old 2003 broke into they choped the shit out of the back seats and used a crobar on the trunk they also riped out the back "shelf" under the rear window they were able to bust loose my amp put they couldnt get the seats undone. everything that was not in my trunk was stolen ...however my amps xbox and all the other shit in my trunk was all in tact. the poor car had gotten its ass kicked however.
not saying its not possible but saying that the factory seats are good to stop the dumb criminal - which is what the biggest fear of theft is from.
my only suggestion to you is to insure your car then
