can i just take one of the fuses that aren't used for anything and replace the one that's busted? that's what ppl mean when they say the "spares" right?

i know this is a dumb question but i dont wanna pay 300 bucks for someone to fix a fuse.

As long as it's the right size then it's probably fine but I'm not a mechanic

Fuses are super cheap at any auto parts store

Something is causing that to happen, do a troubleshooting to figure out what.

You might want to get it checked out if fuse is correct and it keeps doing that.
Could be a sign of a serious issue.

Shove a penny in there, then make note of what catches on fire.
But seriously don't. Something popping fuses is the reason fuses even exist. Go get it fixed.

What is the fuse for?

The last time I had fuses pop all the time it was for the taillights in my old car. Turns out the bulbs that were used the last time they got replaced were too much wattage so the fuse gave out after like an hour of driving.
