    I'm adding an electric fan, and I wouldn't mind using one of the few empty JCASE (the medium rectangular ones, like the ABS and air pump) slots for the fuse to power it. They seem to all be pinned on the supply side (haven't checked to see if they're in fact hot, but I can't see why not) but only the in-use ones are pinned on the load side. I was a little hesitant about overloading the battery lead to the block, but the '12+ air pump fuse is 50A, and I'm sure the ATRAC M/C draws plenty of juice too... I have neither of those, so it oughta have some headroom, and if not I can always replace it with some 1/0!

    I'm pretty sure the pins are some version of Metri-pack 630 terminals, but I dunno what kind in particular to lock into whatever they lock into down there. Curious if anyone knows. I've got a handful of possible ones from a friend at my local GM dealer, but I don't really want to disassemble it ahead of time if I don't have to.

    Yeah, I know I could add an auxiliary box... but then I have to buy it, and mount it, and then I'd want to add more crap to justify it. At the moment this is the only thing I've really got in mind that requires a new fuse. Might add a dinky underseat powered sub in the future too, but I'd just as soon do that the same way, too.

    How about you remove a fuse, release the pin and check with the ones you have?:burp:

    I mean... it's option B. Like I said, I'd prefer not to pull the fuse box apart, hope I can eyeball it, then reassemble it cuz I'm going to go out on a limb that my random picks aren't going to be the ones... if it were avoidable. Hence why I asked a group of people where someone else just *might* know.

    The terminal is removed from below. (held in on side, released from top). I don't think you'll get around to eyeball'g or not taking apart the fuse box...

    This "might" be the terminal...

    I *think* it's a 6.3mm. The 6.3s I grabbed fit perfectly in the fuse.

    A Toyota parts guy I trust poked around the dealer way for me yesterday and said he didn't find those terminals listed that way, and that if Toyota sold them that way, they don't tell him. But... it should be a kinda-sorta-standard Delphi part.

    Worst case, I guess I'll strike out, and ring terminal it to my battery terminals while I figure it out. Well that's 2nd to worst case... worst case is I'll do that, it'll be good enough, and I'll never get around to the rest. :rofl:

    You know if dimension 'D' is given as OD (including insulation) or conductor diameter?

    :thumbsup: Thanks!

    I think I stumbled on that number yesterday while trying to scroll through the terminal repair book PDF I found. I didn't think it looked close to heavy enough... but 3mm should be 10AWG.
