Blew a fuse... will these home depot fuses work?
 

Hi,

As a noob, I blew a fuse when wiring up my fog lights... I actually did everything perfectly, disconnected negative terminal etc. I was just finishing up zip tying and organize wires.. decided to move some wires/switch around and I blew the fuse. Opening it up the fuse cartridge on my wire harness, it's a 30 amp fuse... will these from home depot work?

EDIT: Home depot one isn't the same size.. I found what I needed at O'Reilly, works perfect with my fog light wire harness:

? Isn't that fuse for a heater or something???

I'm not an expert on mechanical issues, but when I blew a fuse, I took a spare one out of the fuse box and replaced the blown one. It looked similar to this pic, about the size of your thumb nail. Attachment 28455

Those won't work either, the blades are too long. You want low profile mini fuses. Most auto parts store should have them. If the fuse was part of the aftermarket harness that you purchased it will be different. It may take the longer blade fuse but doubt very much that home depot fuse is right.

Thanks for the help everyone! The home depot one actually turned out to be the wrong size... but I found what I needed at O'Reilly:

It looks like this in person:

Anyway, yea I was confused too because I'm used to the fuses in the photos you guys had but I guess those fuses are only for use on a fuse board.

I did a custom wire harness that's on a different circuit than the stock fuse board so the "fuse/relay" kit that I bought for the wire harness had one of these fuses instead. They're called glass fuses and they're good for a singular fuse/circuit (rather than a fuse board)... today I learn haha.

Yeah that's why I said "similar" lol
