    I want to stock up on replacement fuses in case they blow. I've noticed a couple 30 amp, the 50 amp, 100, 120 and 140 amp fuses are different in size than the rest. There are generic mini fuse kits for 7.5 to 30 amp fuses but I am not sure what kind of fuses are the 30+ amps. Comparing pics of the large fuses on Amazon says they aren't compatible despite looking the same. So Im asking what are they and where can I get those 30+ amp fuses?

    Never trust what Amazon says will fit your vehicle

    I don`t know what software they use but it sucks!!!

    Might help to know just what year your working on

    I know of the mini blade fuse the regular blade fuse and the Maxi Blade fuse

    Then there is the Female Maxi Fuse like used for the 120 amp alternator fuse

    It all depends just what size fuse block or holder they plug into

    Check Rock Auto they have a nice assortment of fuses

    Yeah Amazon's software is hit or miss but i havent yet bought something that it hasn't said is compatible. 2010 is my year. Ive read that Toyota uses a shorter mini blade fuse than normal for its lower amp fuses but that normal height mini blade fuses will work.
