No, no, no!! The modern, HI-Tech way to do it is to build up a circuit to charge at least a 10 F supercap and discharge it through the fuse, thereby clearing the short. The supercap is guaranteed to un-short almost any fuse you are likely to find, and could also be handy for jump starting your car if using 12v to charge it. Just be sure your charging circuit can stand the guff, those things take a heck of a jolt without charge current limiting!!!

No need for a trip to the store. You can clear a shorted fuse by connecting a battery across it. Works every time.

You're welcome. :-)
