I went out to start my car this evening. (95 Civic DX D15b7) Inserted the key, got the beep beep beep as usual, but as soon as I turned the key, everything went black. I tried beeping the horn, nothing. No headlights. No crank . I did a quick look under the hood, and believe the 80 Amp battery fuse is blown.
First off, is it plugged straight in, or are there attachment screws hidden underneath? Looking online, I saw some fuses, which look the same on top, that have long contacts going straight down. I can pull out the fuse tomorrow, when it is light.
What brands do any of you recommend? I will buy 2, as I fear as soon as I replace it, if there is a serious short somewhere, it may blow again. I was able to do a normal day's driving, So I do not think anything became a short.
Daylight shows it is a screw in mount, 2 "wings" that hold it in place, so easier to remove and inspect

 

Fixed it with a new fuse, thinking the cause will be a short in the ignition switch/ wiring, as it died when I had turned the switch last night. I cycled the lights and the ignition a few times, so it seems to be an odd occurrence. I have a spare fuse just in case.
