Blew mine when taking the intercooler on and off. Touched the intercooler to the altenator lead. POP. Went to the junk yard to get one because I needed to go there for another reason. Jury rigged a 60amp in its place in the between time. I am sure any MAZDA dealer would have one. Might try Autozone or PepBoys also.

FELIX WANKEL .....Where were you when I was trying my dead level best to pull that sucker out??????? Had to figure that out by myself. Brute force failed one more time. In my case I decided that it was best if one disconnected the battery lead prior to taking a screwdriver to the dead fuse. Could cause a few sparks if not careful.

I nailed alternator lead too by mistake, and heard pop.. Was freaking out.. nothing worked in car... Well I checked fuses and sure enough the main was blown... Not hard to take out... And you can get replacement at any autostore... I got one at Autozone here in Nebraska...
