check autozone website. i just checked ebay and didnt seem to find one. i know that any auto parts store would have one. they are usually like 5 bucks if not less.

why do you need the fuse if you replace your alternator? did you blow yours?

When you use the word "alternator" in your thread title, which is part of the engine, let that be the clue where the thread goes.

Moved.

Only one way I know of to blow that fuse, and it involves converting your car to 24 volt for a fraction of a second. =Þ
If you find that other electronics are not functioning after your car is back on the road, check the fuses first.
