Question FUSE Size?

No one seems to be able to tell me what fuse size (physical) I think it is ATM but am not sure.

Have you tried popping open the fuse box to see?

Fuse size

I could look inside but it is in an awkward location. It seems weird that no one can tell me (not even Acura customer support) what size and it isn't in the owner's manual.

They're low profile (APS) mini fuses. Name:  LowProfileMiniFuse.jpg

There are several spares in the lid of the underhood fuse box along with a handy dandy fuse puller.

Cheers!

Thanks - APS That's it. Now for another question. One fuse circuit in the under hood fuse panel is labeled 'small' Any idea what this circuit does? It takes a 10 amp fuse.

Small typically handles all the lights in the interior of your car, dome, car vanity, dash, etc.

I tried hunting that fuse up online and couldn't find a firm, no doubt about it answer although it 'might' have something to do with trailer circuits (other than the next door trailer fuse.) If it's simply interior lights (20 amps, really?) it'd sure be simple to find out....just pull it and see what stops working!

Cheers!
