where to buy low-profile fuses?

[thelawnet1]

Just connected new battery the wrong way round, and blew about 10 fuses.... So anyone know where I can go out and get some more tomorrow? They have them on ebay, but would like to buy in person...

A picture would probably help a lot more than the term low profile fuse, whatever that means to you.

Or any motor factors you would hope stock various fuses.

And after they're replaced, just hope no permanent damage has been done, that could be a bad mistake.

These ones:

They are called APS, also.

Eurocarparts don't stock them.

So they are much cheaper in Maplins, as it happens.

But I also needed a couple of Jcase fuses, which are harder to find.

And the main 180A fuse has also blown. I'm not sure what the procedure is for replacing that, it's in a block, similar to this:

but I'm not sure if you need to replace the whole block, or you can do an individual fuse.

So it looks like you have to change the whole fuse block, part #8262050110. Doesn't look like it will be that easy to find, but who knows...

looks like it costs £140, but Lexus won't order it for me unless I go to the garage in person to pre-pay for it.

Main fuses can be got round, depends if your willing to bodge it a bit.

Options are plenty, somehow replace the one inside, attach some flyleads to an ANL or MEGA fuse. Or bodge in a load of copper wire and guess the rating...

Any decent motorfactor will supply them.
