By 'strip fuse', I think you mean the 80 amp fuse secured by 2 screws. No, I have not replaced that. It's super shiny and new looking.

I did pull one of those by mistake-it appears the one closest to the front (there are 2) has a pin that is blackened. Is that indicative of a bad fuse? Can I get one of those at any auto store?

Need rod that Door Lock Knob screws onto. Plus w123 lock question.

It appears that the threaded portion of the rod that screws together with the Door Lock Knob is stripped. Is there a way to simply buy this rod?

Thanks.
