Hey everyone... does anyone have their duratec manual handy? I need to know the Ohm of the main fuse in the car. 98 contour 6cyl. Mine doesn't say how many ohms it is, and I'm running an inline fuse to my battery in my trunk. I knew the inline fuse would eventually blow, but I've had an 80ohm in there and don't want to go higher til I know what the manual calls for on that circuit. Thanks in advance!

I believe the Megafuse is 120 Amps.

Fuses are rated in Amperes, not ohms......

a fuse, technically, is a piece of wire. so it would have an ohm rating of 0 (straight through, no resistance).. AMPERES of current before blowing would be the rating you are looking for and the megafuse is a 120AMP fuse.
