The heavy cartridge fuses like that hardly ever blow (understandably) because they are usually only used as main power fuses and you have to have a VERY direct short to that fuse to blow it. They are always BOLTED in and require removing the attaching bolts for the fuse box and getting to the bottom. You probably have to remove the cover on the bottom to access the bolts. They never plug a fuse that heavy in because it wouldn't take the load. They're not hard to replace, just have to do what I said, and be SURE to disconnect the battery when you do it. Probably only be able to get it from the dealer.
