How to deal with a melted fuse? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So the other week my turn signal decides to shit on me and i attempt to take the fuse out but it took a few tries.
Looks like the fuse melted, now I'm stuck on options on how to take the remainder of the fuse out. Tried using tweezers but that was fail.

aaaaaaaand. another quick question.
So when i bought my car, I never really bothered taking off the silencer, but when I did, I found this..
Does this make a difference in any way?

Whats size amp is that fuse and what amp is suppose to be in that slot?
Either that is the wrong amp or somthing is grounding out causing high amp draw and excessive heat
Problem "might" lie before the fuse. Or in the fender well harnesses if your wheels are rubbing though the harness

try using a small screw driver to wedge/chip out the prong?

The exhaust: all your steel wool has poofed out so now your exhaust is louder and makes a rattling noise when you driver around.

Its no big deal if you dont mind the sound, but to fix you need to replace that muffler section
