Can I use any brand 15amp fuse in my 07 Sebring?

Posted by Beliak_Reddit@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 8 comments

As a replacement to the one I blew. Can it be any brand 15amp, or does it have to be the same fuse brand that was in there before? One is much more expensive than the other.

Thanks in advance!!

Same shape and amerpage rating but don't go cheap/unbranded - Littelfuse & Bussman are quality.

Avoid cheap stuff from far away:

An auto fuse is an auto fuse.. so long as it is the same form factor and correct amperage.

Electrical engineering the automotive industry with more than 20 years experience and can confirm that this is the perfect answer. Fuses are just one of those ridiculously commoditized parts that cost almost nothing to make and so there's a few manufacturers just pumping them out.

And I would like to reiterate with the intelligent person above me said - get the same amperage which is the number printed on it and make sure it's the same form factor so the mini or the micro or whatever.

Also check your manual and your fuse map - a lot of car companies include spares in the fuse box where there are unused circuits but they will populate them with fuses intended to be spares. In the fuse map it will say "spare"

Thanks for the info and backing the good advice! How do I know if it's mini or micro? I will check for spares but I don't think anything on the panel said spare..

If you don't have a spare just take it to the auto parts store with you and get the matching one.

Here's a good article and picture. The manual should say what type of fuse.
