Just a quick question, what do you all use to pull fuses?
Fingers don't work, plyers do...what do you find works well w/out thrashing the fuses?

A fuse puller. Don't you have one on the fuse panel door? If not, there's 3 clips that hold spare fuses, and a peg that the plastic fuse puller fits in.
Andway... If you dont have one, get one.. cuz nothing is faster and nicer to the fuses than the stock fuse puller. If you can't get one, or don't have one, use needlenose pliers.

I use needle-nosed pliers.

Why don't you remove the carpeting, and kickpanel to get it? I wouldn't live without my fuse pullers ever. When I sell my car (if I ever do), I am keeping those pullers.

Everyone should have one...at least from the factory. It's on a pin behind the cover to the fuse box.

If you buy one of those large fuse kits some of them come with a fuse puller/tester

i did what kandy flip was suggesting... i was blowing fuses left and right (audio problem) and i bought a fuse set... it very helpful. the fuse puller comes with a tester on the back side so you dont even need to pull fuses half the time and its always good to have extra fuses around... the kit didnt cost me more than fifteen bucks

Ditto, the next guy isn't getting it cause he won't know how to use it anyway.
You can pick one up at wal-mart if you lost yours.
