Originally posted by Jason732: I just pulled that fuse and it looks like someone hit it with a hammer or something, it's broken into about 4 pieces.

I had the same thing, it was literally broken, and I'm quite positive it broke from a physical impact (drove over a bad RR crossing at night, hit the car very hard). Strange, I never had the charging light though.
You can get it at NAPA ($5 - they even had it on stock in the middle of nowhere east Tennessee where my car broke doen), or actually you can bolt the 2 terminals together and forget about the fuse. If your alt goes crazy, that 175A fuse will be the last thing to burn out.
