Pictured below, as pointed out by some helpful folks on another post the 10 amp accessory fuse that was in this jeep was cheap and melted away to nothing instead of burning out, destroyed the connector too so i cant put a new one in. Was hoping to find just the yellow section that melted, i believe they're called fuse blocks? But I've only been able to find full fuseboxes for $100+ and it looks like a really long job to fully replace the whole box. Is full replacement of the fusebox my only option to fix this and get this fuse slot back? Or can i move the connections to an unused slot in the fuseblock? The accessory fuse runs things like the dome light and the light/key reminder noise so id like to fix it if possible.

You can move to an unused slot. Don’t forget to fix the problem first. May have a short somewhere.

Thankfully i fixed the underlying issue already. Guy I bought it from a few days ago improperly wired up a subwoofer

One of the first things I do when purchasing a new vehicle is go through the manual or factory service manual and make sure the correct fuse is in every slot. If someone has replaced a fuse with an incorrect size then I usually ohm and continuity check the circuit...and hopefully visually inspect the wires for problems.

I spent a lot of time on my 97 fixing issues my previous owner installed. Crap lift. Worn out steering components. Bad transmission. Bed liner inside the tub. Things I didn't know then and sure know now.
