Before u buy a new fuse,

You should identify what caused it to blow.

As buying another fuse may cause it to blow again if the initial problem was not rectified.



Otherwise for a fuse like that, you may need to ring honda directly or go to a honda wreckers.

These types of fuses are not cheap and it will be a waste if u blow another set over and over again.

Nomsayin?

i was checkin my fuses and i forgot ta put the key in the ignition coz some of the fuses are 3 pin, held by screw on either side like the main battery fuse above.. so using the screw driver on a fuse i short circuited.. couldnt turn on the car, then had to find the fuse tat go fcuked, and it was the main battery fuse... stupid

so went to pw, they only had one left in stock (lucky me), bought it, placed in it.. all is good
