So after some more research, I think I may have replaced another strip fuse- one perhaps for the hvac. It sits in a little box on the left strut tower and I think it’s 30 amps. That’s what I bought from advance auto (30 amps). I believe the glow plug relay strip fuse is located in the glow plug relay and is 80 amps. Once I check the fuse in the gp relay and determine (possibly) it to be bad, would there be any harm in using a 30 amp fuse temporarily? Worst case it will just fail prematurely?
