    On a 74 maverick. I need the "really" short glass fuse that is used for the dash back lights etc. First, can someone confirm that it is a 4 amp fuse (can't read the fuse). Second, where can one find these. I found a variety pack at Walmart but this fuse was not included in the variety pack. Finally, mine is broken so I don't know the actual length of the fuse (it is around .25 inches). Thanks!

    Get them at NAPA or any good auto parts store. Wal-Mart doesn't count. :D

    Thanks for the responses, I was on a fuse hunt earlier this year and the auto parts stores didn't have the small fuse!
