imehdi Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have a 2000 GS300. The main 120AMP fuse got blown becaue a friend of mine cross jumpered the battey as he was trying to intsall a new battery. The problem now is that the 120A fuse is stuck and won't come out. Is these a special procedure to take this fuse out.? The fuse is located in the long fuse box in the engine compartment and is labelled ALT . Its a cartridge type fuse and has a clear window on the top . Any help will be appreciated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinBarber Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I'm sure it just pulls out (do you have a new one? That should confirm it is just a pull out type), very tight fit though and it may have welded itself to the contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go buy a new fuse so you can see if it is a blade type or has screw holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even tried using a needle nose plier. I think you might be right , it might have welded itself to the contacts or with the plastic . If that is the case, any other suggestions? I really dont't want to force it out as it might demage something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGS300 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 B) Maybe take a soldering iron and heat the contacts of the fuse till it releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1911 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) 8 and 10mm hiding below holding the fuse in, pull battery out, I just cut a wedge out of the fuse box on both sides to access, then glued pieces of plastic to close it back up, pulling the fuse box apart is a pita, this was easy.
