    one of my fuses went out on my '70 maverick and i cant read what the fuse box says it shoud be. its the one for my accessories. the one i pulled out was a 15a 32v but i cant find the same type but have tried close ones with the same rating.

    Edit i messed up i meant a 20a one. But the yellow boxes of BUSS fuses come with a 15a one, you can get it at any parts store. Or even a has station.

    Any should work. The number is just the max rating. Cars run on 12v so you should be able to use the 12 or 32 one....

    Take the bad fuse with you to the parts store. Fuses come in all kinds of lengths and amp ratings. The voltage rating makes no difference. A 15 amp 250 volt fuse will still blow if you go higher than 15 amps with 12 volts.
