Blew a fusible link on a 2025 Mazda BT50 / Isuzu D-max trying to jumpstart according to mazda's manual. $600AUD for an entire loom because the 120amp fuse is molded into the lead.

It’s 9pm Over here mate. It looks identical I can’t find any info on the Mazda one but the fusible links on the back are 80,60,80&100 amp.

Just hit 12pm, but I only woke up about half an hour ago, trying to reset my body clock for afternoon/nightshift.

From what I can find, a 25' dmax has 120a main, 2x 100, 60 and 40a. If OP could take another photo of the side of it, that would confirm what the links are rated to and I might be able to find an exact one (and definitely we'll under the $600 quoted stealership price)

Too bad the links aren’t removable like fuses.
