1. Beverly Rose Says: Ok so my radio fuse blew. So I bought some new fuses from AAP ... My fuse box for my radio is under my hood...

First off, how do you remove a fuse from the fuse box without pliers or a fuse puller, can I just pull it out with my hands?
Also, do I need to unplug my battery?
It's dark out and really don't want to unplug my battery right now, it's just a radio fuse, will I get electricuted?
Next, should the car be on or off when replacing a fuse?

Thanks...

Oh...check inside the fuse box...there may be a puller in it. Looks like small plastic tweezers.
