Smellywelshman Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Anybody got any ideas? Due to a spaz moment whilst changing the fanbelt a slight alternator plus spanner interaction occured! Big blue sparks and one blown alternator fuse:rolleyes: Just almost destroyed it trying to pry it out, so there must be a trick to it:search: Oh and anybody know whos the best person to get one off, smartish like (like this weekend)? I know that its the only one thats blown 'cos I've managed to squeeze the fuse together and get a contact (it's now covered in grease in the hope that it wont corrode overnight!) and everything works fine. Need to stop having the odd can whilst working on the car methinks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styggen82 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 120 amp fuse? two bolts, one on each pin of the fuse. you have to separate the fusebox in order to reach them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the one!!! Thought it must be something like that! You got any advice as to how to separate it? I tried but something seemed to be holding it down just under the fuse I wanted to change. Know what I'm talking about? Another bolt/nut maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, flip the little red cover up, and you'll fint a nut on the power cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smellywelshman Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Cool, Cheers Jezz. I did give that little red cover a poke but my alarm went bonkers and it wouldn't go off! It'll be right tho. You rekon my local auto electrics place will have a replacement? Or am I going to have to call on your aladdins cave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
