Buying Fuses - Question please
Hi,
I want to replace fuses on my 83 diesel.
I've found that my car takes 4 16amp, 2 8amp and 1 30amp.
I went to kragen and all I saw was a little kit that had 1 16amp,1 5amp,
1 8amp and 1 30amp!
So do I have to buy 3 of these kits to get my 3 16amp fuses?...it seems like a waste of fuses and money. Can't I buy these fuses separately?
Thanks

I think NAPA will sell the one at a time however $$$. Or they might have a kit that has more of what you need.
From what I have read; do not buy the Plastic Bodied Fuses at all, best are ones with Ceramic Bodies and Copper or Brass metal strips. The White Metal Stripped ones with Ceramic Bodies are OK but more prone to corrosion.

I forgot to say what I do is when I go to the Junk Yard I take a Zip Lock Bag with me and I pull a bunch of good fuses in the amperages I need.
When I use them I make sure the Fuse tips are in good condition and wire brush them to freshen them up.
I also clean the Brass contacts where the Fuses attach.
In the pic below you see why 2 of my Windows stopped working.
