Can't find replacement fuse! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 2001 Celica GT with a blown 7.5 amp fuse for the CD/Clock. It is a funky 6-prong mini blade fuse that I can't find locally or online. What was Toyota thinking? Does anyone have an idea where I could find one?

Thanks! I may try that! I'm sure it costs way more than it should if Toyota has to order it!

whole point of the fuse is protect wiring/computers...putting just wire in there wont protect it and you could end up frying the wiring or computers...so go ahead with that. You will probably end up paying way more for repairs than just buying a small fuse...i mean its there for a reason.
