Main fuse (engine compartment)

I don't know how I did it, but the main fuse blew in the engine compartment. Is it something a normal parts store would carry or will I have to get it from mazdatrix or somewhere else?

schucks or autozone should have them. i think its an 80 amp fuse.
im not sure if its different since yours is an 88, but there should be little bolts holding it in on the side of the fuse box. best thing to do is pull the fuse box off, and open the little trap doors on the side of it to get to them.

Yea, I got it. I didn't know if it was a special kind of fuse or not. I've never had to replace one of those before.

I got mine at advance auto, you might want to bring your fuse in to verify its the right one.

Yeah, they don't know how to order the brakes for turbo rears.

make sure you remove the two 10 mm nuts on the side of the Fuse Block,,these Main fuses don't just Pull out..they are Secured.

I learned that the hardway......
when I first had my FC, I pulled it out and it wouldnt move so I took a plier and pulled it out, and half the casing came out while the 10mm bolts was still holding the bottom......im a retard.
