A lot of things will still work if the 120 AMP fuse blows. Your windows, power seats and fog lamps will not work. If you really want to find out just take it out. 120 AMP if CA car 140 Amp for Fed specs.

That fuse is for your alternator, something is going on there. The black w/red stripe wire runs to the alternator.

If it blows again (probably) either the black/red wire is shorted to ground or your alternator is fried. Either get an ohmeter or extra fuses. You could disconnect the blk/red from the alternator if it no loner blows the fuse the alt is probably the problem. How did the problem start?

Is it blown? I guess if your charging system and power windows, sunroof work it's OK.
