You said fuse, so I am assuming it is an old main panel and that there are perhaps 2 or 3 fuses in the panel. First off you have to be very careful not to get electrocuted working with a main fuse. Here are some assumptions to check not knowing your configuration.
If you have some power, but not all and multiple circuits have no power, you may have blown a fuse on one leg of the power from the Power Company.
If you have no power and there isn't a power outage in your area you may have blown fuse.
Best way to check is with a volt meter. You can pick one up cheaply from local hardware store. Suggest one with a meter rather than a go/no go meter with a light or buzzer.
The black lead of the meter to ground and the red lead to each side of the fuse if you don't know which is in and which is out. There should be 120 V or there abouts on both sides of the fuse to ground.
When replacing the fuse there should be a disconnect switch so neither end of the fuse holder is live during a fuse change.
The main fuse is in the engine bay fuse box located near the battery. It is the largest rated fuse, usually 60 amp or 80 amp.
hi there could you please tell me what the 100 amp fuse is powering as they normally have fuseable links to power up main branch lines to the fuse box on the camry's
The Main fuse is in the fuse box under the hood on the drivers side. It is a 100 amp fuse.
On the main fuse board when you open it there will be a diagram on the back of the lid. Look for a picture of a triangle with a ! inside. It will tell you where it is and what amp fuse you need to replace it with.
I believe that it's either a 10 amp fuse or 20 amp. Check your fuses out. It should tell you.

A couple of thing come into play here. If the fuse you found is 2.5 amps and the voltage is not higher that 125 volts, then it can be used if it fits in the fuse holder.
The main 100 amp fuse is located in the fuse box under the hood.
Assuming the wiring is sized for 12 amps, you can replace your fuse with any 12 amp fuse or smaller and with a voltage rating at or above what you expect to connect to it. The amp rating protects the wire, so you cannot go above what the wire can handle. The voltage rating is the max voltage that it can safely protect, so you cannot use a fuse with a lower voltage rating than you expect to connect to.
The main fuse (100) amp is in the fusebox in the engine compartment.
fuse number 1 is 10 amp fuse 2 is 25 amp fuse 3is 25 amp fuse 4 is a spare fuse 5 is 10 amp fuse 6 is a spare fuse 7 is 20 amp fuse 8 is 25 amp fuse 9 is 20 amp fuse 10 is 5 amp fuse 11 is 5 amp fuse 12 is a spare fuse 13 is 5 amp fuse 14 is 15 amp
