How do you remove a fuse?

OK, sounds silly I know. But what do you use to pull out those tiny fuses? And what are those fuses called? Mini ATM? They sure are tiny.

 

Not silly if you havent done it! Well you can either use a pair of needle nose plyers (thats what i do most of the time) or you can buy a cheap fuse puller outer thing at any automotive store. they are plastic and very inexpensive. I have one but when i cant find it i just you needle nose.

 

There is a fuse puller in the fusebox lid under the hood. Also, those aren't ordinary mini ATM fuses. They are a new generation that don't have the long legs. The legs run down the sides.

^^^ That's all the information you need!

 

you guys rule! i'mgoing to check now to find the fuse puller. now about the fuse size. i can buy tose at an auto parts store right? even if i get the ones that stick out a bit, they will work, right?

 

Most parts stores sell a little kit with the new style in various amp sizes. I purchased my little kit from Advanced Auto.

I have no heat and I am guessing its my 50 a fuse. How can I pull this out? Is there a special trick? Any ideas help thank you.

 

We tried to help you in your other thread, but you bailed.

Guessing at component replacement is a lot more expensive than diagnosing the problem and replacing the faulty component. Besides that, if the 50A fuse is blown, a new one will also blow.

 

You did? Sorry I dint remember that but how do you mean? So replacing the fuses won't do anything for me?

 

I tried to pull a starter relay from a taco at a junkyard and I couldn’t get it out.

 

If it blows another 50A you've got something wrong.

 

Nope.

 

I dont even knoe how to get the initial 50 a fuse out. Thats what I'm trying to figure out. Would having too many red cords attached to the battery cause a problem? I'll take any suggestions. Thanks again

 

I've replaced the resistor, blower motor, ac hack control panel only the recirculating air and ac buttons do anything.

 

Alright so I fixed it and your kind of a prick

 

How about if you grace us with your presence and make a worthwhile contribution to TW by explaining exactly what parts were actually bad, your logical conclusions that led you to replace a whole bunch of components and where you went wrong replacing functioning OEM components with inferior aftermarket parts.

Oh, and out of morbid curiosity, post a pic of all the “red cords” attached to the battery. I’m curious if any of them have fuses.

 

Fuse types for future references.
This is from the manual of the 2007 Tacoma.
Notice that some have holes in the legs.
This can sometimes mean you will have to physically unbolt it from the box.

 

What’s with good & brown? Is that blown spoken with a Texas accent or is that a bad translation from a nonenglish origin?

 

Lol. I noticed that and I have no idea
Maybe it’s a “translation” error.
