Buy a new fuse, check either by the kick panel or under the hood for the blown fuse, pull out the old one, and pop in the new one.

60amp is a major system fuse to blow you need to find why it blew

Remove the plastic clear cover and you can bridge the terminals if it melts straight away you need to get your car to who installed the alarm and fix it

To replace with new fuse you need to unclip 120amp & 60amp from main fuse box to unbolt for under side easy way is Unbolt complete fuse box remove under side cover to access

I would recommend bridging first to find and fix fault before you bolt in a new one

Solid advise. 60AMP is big time. It could be just a fluke..BUT if you replace it, and blows quickly, there is no doubt a bigger issue. Let us know how it pans out.
