Hi Ronald. I'm not familiar with this, but then neither am I familiar with the D4d series setups. I see that you have a 2nd battery fitted so it's possible that this was added as an after-market fuse box modification for additional protection. Perhaps some of the D4d owners can shed some light whether its OEM or modified.

Either way it blew for a reason and the circuit that blew should be checked out first.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

I might be incorrect but it should indicate on the lid of the fuse box.

Its the fuseable link for the vehicle . The fuses for the alternator , interior fan eg. are in this fuse . Be carefull when replacing useally a faulty alternator causes this fuse to blow , or if it wrongly jumpstarted. They are expensive so make sure there is no shorts on the vehicle before fitting a new one
