I has 40 30 30 on it.... Not sure how to get it out or even check if it is bad.

That might be where the spare fuses are.

it should say what it is on the cover that you had to take off to access it.

it looks good. Just look through the clear part....if the metal bridges are solid, you're fine. Do not try to take the clear plastic off.

that's a fusible link. I shorted one out when my leg hit the trailer brake wire and it grounded out (the plug is taped now).

When mine blew I couldn't tell until I pulled the whole thing out.

The dealer sells the inserts (for a ridiculous price)

Can I take the unit out and test it with a fluke meter? I can't get the 12volt power to the tow to work.

This is the only fuse I can't readily identify as a "good" one.

Any thoughts?

yes, the whole plastic unit comes out. there are three links in there so
I had to take the clear cover off then use a small pliers to pull out the plastic housing one side at a time.

just don't touch the pliers to any of the metal links

Those things are a pain, I blew one on my old prelude that I guess ran the fuel pump and was able to find it at advance. I had to hot wire across just to get there though. Sometimes those box stores actually have some good stuff.
