did you try an auto parts store? you could put in a lower amperage fuse to limp by til you get the real thing.

If he hasn't gotten one yet, he was better off ordering one at the dealership and waiting...

kacosta

pop out the little glass window on the fuse jam a screwdriver
in there to bridge the gap to join the remaining links should work untill replacements come in and you cant buy that fuse
at a auto parts store

kacosta

forgot to mention remove the screwdriver after you bend the tab over or if there is not enuff meat drip some sodir in there

I would be very concerned about rigging something to work. Why did the fuse pop in the first place? If something is seriously wrong where there is a short and it needs to be fixed first, then making a straight connection with no fuse is not a good idea at all.

kacosta

he said he blew the fuse that tells me that whatever he did
to cause that it wont happen again during the course of his work and keep in mind this is only to move the car temporarily ok if you still want safety go buy a 120amp circut braker and wire it inline again a temp fix i have done
that many times to gat a car moveing again yes that is not a good idea im assuming this person knows exactly what caused it but in a bind it works just fine

thanks for the advice guys, but i got a fuse from the dealer ....and the reason it blew the fuse was a very stupid and careless mistake, i took my battery to the shop to be put on a trickle charge and grabbed a loaner battery off the shelf and did not realize that the negative and positive were in different positions than my my original battery took it for granted and tahts when the fire works started........i bleww a total of 5 fuses....lol everything is fine now...
