What kind of fuse is this?

spearfish25 · 02-08-2011, 06:52 PM

I just solved an issue where one of my horns shorted and kept blowing the 15A fuse. I've used the spare fuse, but i can't find a place that stocks these fuses Nissan is using.

What type of fuse is this? It looks like a mini-blade but the prongs don't extend as far. I'm going to either swing by a dealer or order from CourtesyParts. I was hoping Autozone would have these things.

Those are called low profile fuses.

Autozone sells them as well...

Don't buy that made in china crap. Go to autozone and get the ones made in Japan. I speak from experience! The cheapos break apart. If you're not careful they will break while in the fuse box.

The one xan linked is good. The amazon one is crap. I speak from experience.

just FYI, in a pinch, you can use the the regular Mini fuses if you can't find the low profile ones... they fit the same way. As long as they are the same amperage obviously.
