Where can I purchase a Yellow 5A fuse?
 

I purchased a kit for spare trunk fuses for my 88 cab but the red is 16A, the blue is 25A and the white is 8A. I need a yellow rated at 5A. I've looked at various websites with no luck.

Any help appreciated.

You can use an 8 amp temporarily.

Some auto parts stores have them - I think even Wal-Mart even carries an assortment of "german" fuses.. Failing that, I would suggest a Porsche, or VW dealer.

It took me a long time and several auto parts stores to find these but here is the best place I have found with very reasonable prices and excellent services. They will ship to you I believe.

Do not use an 8 amp fuse; an 8 amp fuse doesn't blow until the power has reached 250% more than what a 5 amp fuse will pass! Doing this could melt the circuit and do significant damage to the adjacent wirng in the harness. The yellow 5 amp fuses are PN 90017300690 and are available special order through Pelican for $1.00 each. The 5 amp yellow fuses are becoming difficult to find in auto parts stores. Type in the part number in the "Search Pelican Parts" box. Jim

thanks guys for the info.

It is listed in Pelican for a buck apiece.

I was in a local stop-and-rob, just happen to walk by the auto supply section... couple of different types of generic oil, additives, light bulbs, and the usual other crap. I then noticed they had a display of "import fuses" next to the domestic fuses. The packages had 2 of each rating... 0.99 a pack, of course I bought all of the packs they had. I now have a lifetime supply of all the fuses I would ever need. Could not believe it. I find myself looking at the "auto supply section" in all of these corner stores when I am in them now to see if they might have any other goodies.
