Default Fuse Question

I lost the 5 amp fuse labeled inst/lps behind the carpet and thought it would be easier to get a new one than look for it at this time. This is the smaller fuse and I was curious if there are various smaller sizes of glass fuses? Or should I be ok obtaining a small 5 amp fuse at a local auto parts store? Seems trivial but at this point I’m trying to minimize my purchase of non-usable parts (don’t ask). Thanks to all the forum folks that have helped me in the past and I wish everyone a great 2025!

Your local blue green or orange should have them in the electrical section, although I’m curious why you can’t just pull up the carpet.

Red is already dead? Sad story.

Well, it’s cold in my garage and didn’t feel like searching; but since my post I did pull up the carpet and couldn’t locate it. So I don’t know if where it went, so I thought buying one when I went out may be easier in the long run.

I will admit to also loosing a glass fuse under my carpet. On my 73 the carpet is underneath the plastic steering column shield that is attached to the firewall. When I eventually replaced the carpet, I found the missing fuse. Chevrolet could not have found a worse location for the fuse box, it must have been some kind of inside joke for the engineers.
