Positive cable power fuse

Just had a question on the positive cable battery fuse .. I just seen two tabs on top and tried to push them in to check the fuse .. could not do it , is there a way to open it and check it or does it pop off to replace it ?

Is that the 140/120amp white fuse? If so theres a bolt on the side of the fuse you have to remove

It is a separate wire, the car's electrical system is split in two. For example the headlights don't go through that fuse but the alternator and power windows & seats do.

I cannot answer your questions. I could not locate it in the parts listings. That doesn't mean it is not available. If you try looking up things in the parts listings, you would understand my statement.

Call a dealer and talk to the parts department, they are usually pretty willing to help. Or you could go junk yard hunting.
