Can I get EGI fuses from NAPA?

Hi guys,

I was wondering where I would be able to get those EGI fuses. Does NAPA carry those, or are they only available through Mazda? There is a NAPA store about a 15 minute walk from my house, and I would rather go there. I would ask them over the phone too, but last time I tried to describe a part to them over the phone they didn't understand.

I need to get a bunch of spare 30A fuses cause I blew my EGI and HEAD( headlight?) fuse. It seems that this problem is pretty common. The same thing happened to me while I was driving.

Does anybody here know what would cause that fuse to trip? I suspect a short somewhere in the wiring, but is there anything else besides shorts in the wiring that would cause that?

Thanks

Pep Boys was actually just a 8 minute walk from my house, but they got shut down along with the one in the neighboring town. Autozone and the Mazda dealer is about 2-3 miles away, and I dont want to walk to those places.

About my problem though...my car just kinda shut down after I had been driving it. I started it up this morning, let it warm up for 4 minutes drove it for about 20 minutes and shut it off after cooling it down.

About 20 minutes later I came back and drove it for about 15 minutes. when all of the sudden it died on the road. Car will crank over, but wont start. Checked the EGI fuse and it is burned out. swapped it with the HEAD 30A fuse and tried to start it over while someone watched the fuse. Upon cranking, that fuse blew out too.

Upon closer investigation the large wire that connects the positive terminal of the battery to the fuse relay box is loose. Could this have been the cause of my passenger side headlight coming up slowly? And could this also be the cause of the EGI fuse blowing out?

Thanks

Ok, so I went on yahoo.com and did a search for "30 amp fuse" and I came up with a bunch of hits from a band and music CDs.

WTF kind of band name is 30 amp fuse?!?!?! how am I supposed to look for car parts when some band names themselves the 30 amp fuses?
