Like the title says, I blew the 100 A ALT fuse in the engine bay. Naturally, nothing power works anymore (widows, locks, radio, etc). So, I'm trying to remove the fuse and the darn thing won't budge. I can remove every other fuse inside the box except the one I need out. The plastic is old and brittle, and of course broke while trying to force it out. Can anyone else confirm the difficulty of removing the fuse? I have pulled and yanked to no avail and have destroyed the fuse in the process. When I ever do get the fuse out, will this be a dealer specific part or would some place like Autozone carry a 100 A fuse? Thanks.

Can you please elaborate on how to get to the bolt? I have taken the fuse box apart, but there is no slack in the wires, so I can't really maneuver around at all. Is the bolt directly below the fuse? Thanks.

I found this: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...814&hl=fuse
But when I release the four clips holding the fuse casing I still can not pull it down. It's loose on one end, but not loose near the 100 ALT fuse. It feels like something else is attached. |
