Recently blew my battery fuse installing a new battery. I've been trying to find a replacement fuse but I cant seem to find it or a part number for the fuse/fuse assembly for it. Anyone blew one before?

Hello and welcome to NICO!

I could be mistaken, but I think everything get's power from the battery, so all those things have fuses, but not the battery. Maybe it does, since it get's power from the alternator. Your car's fuses are under the dash by the drivers feet and under the hood, by the battery. There is also a thing called a 'fusable link' inside the fuse box under the hood. There is also the wire splitter thing that is on the main power wire off of the battery and it splits power off to two smaller wires. You want to test all fuses for continuity with a volt meter. We have links to the factory service manual under "service manuals" at the top of this web page. Those might help or they might be too much information. It's good to look.

Did you accidentally ground out the wrench while your were tightening the wires onto the battery? How did you blow a fuse while installing a battery?

It might be time to get someone to come over and give you a hand. Ask them to bring a volt meter.

If You are talking about that large fuse assembly built into the positive cable, I believe that is a dealer part. I can see if I can get a part number when I go back to work on Thursday, but if I remember correctly it shouldnt be more than $30. And don't let them tell you they have to install it or what not. I am a Nissan Tech and will tell you now it's super simple to replace.
