Re: Power Antenna Fuse

I found my old power antenna fuse today. It slipped through down
into the "vault" behind the driver's seat. Mine was a 6 amp. So I
guess a 5 or 6 amp fuse will work well. Anybody happen to know what
size fuses were put in at the factory, or what size the inline fuse
"should" be?
