Just inserted another 120amp fuse after driving around with 100amp fuse instead for a couple weeks. I had to search high and low to find a 120amp fuse, finally found one and put it in but the radio doesn't work.

Fuse blew? and is there anything wrong with inserting a fuse of a lower amps than the required.

I'm speaking of the battery fusebox.

You shouldnt use a lower amperage fuse, if anything you should use a bigger one, not to big....5 amps more than what stock is is ok but anything higher than that can cause damage...i suggest if you are speaking of the fuse connected to the positive terminal on the battery you get one from the stealership

Yes the fuse connected to the battery - 120a

I got one from autozone, for 3.00

Nissan wanted 19.66.

Radio doesn't even turn on anymore, I think the fuse for the radio blew, will check it soon.

They run on different fuses, and you said you put a 100a fuse in...it NEEDS a 120a fuse....dont be a cheapo whats 20 bucks? an eighth of a tank of gas?

You don't get it.

I didn't get the 100amp fuse becuase I was being cheap, I got the fuse because I had to change the battery and it in the process I popped the fuse, the only fuse they had was a 100amp fuse so I used that instead.

In the process, the radio doesn't come on.

it should be fine. using a 100 amp fuse instead of a 120 amp is not a problem if anything it is a good thing. Now if you used a 120 amp in place of a 100 amp that would be a problem.

My fuse went out also but i have a direct connection to my alternator from the positive on my battery(big 3) and everything works fine. Should i change it anyway?

Theres a difference between necessity and the use of precaution ...right? Which line were you speaking of torgus...the one on the positive in the small box or the alternator to positive?
