Blew main fuse betwen battery and fuse box. How do I replace it? Also, car will start and run with a bypass but radio, interior lights (and probably brake lights) do not work. Fuses in kick panel are ok.

This main fuse is a little different to replace it, so I am attaching the info from the manual.

I am also attaching the wiring diagram below that includes the main fuse in the event you need it.

Please see the info from the manual that will show you how to unbolt the fuse and remove it.

Please let us know what other questions you have. Thanks
