Melted??? Personally, I would want to know why how before I rewired the system to attempt putting power to it again. That implies something's seriously wrong.

The fuse is bolted into the fuse box. There's a plastic flap, pull it open and unbolt the fuse to replace it.

well i bout the car from a kid whose father gave it to him. and to make a long story short him an his friend were messing with it cause i was going to be a project car, they put the battery in backwards and when they went to start it melted the fuse.

Yeah, it's a pretty easy fix. You just need to find out why it burned out in the first place.

samjaza78

And what else may have burned with it.

Nothing that I'm aware of lights still work she starts up to when you do some jimmy rigging with the fuse

THIS is why the fuse melted in the first place.
You should be OK now.

Yea I figured not usre if anytihng else melted or was affected either but from the way it sounds when guy got her started up everything seemed to be in order but i got the replacement fuse so its all good.

Connecting the battery backward has been known to cook the ECU. Hopefully that did not happen.

That thought gas crossed my mind but I haven't been able to examine the car to that extent
