Fuses can be made of different things. But commonly they are glass with a metal conductor embedded. The wire is a certain thickness so that when too much electricity passes through it heats up and breaks the glass and itself which cuts the flow of electricity.

The fuse is bolted to two terminals inside the fuse box, it is possible to remove the part that contains the 100a fuse by releasing the retaining clips on the fuse holder and pulling up, then the two wires can be unbolted and the fuse replaced.You have to look very closely to locate the plastic clips, release them with a small screwdriver wile pulling up on the fuse. I replaced the 40Amp fuse next to the 100 amp fuse!!! not so easy in a 1996 Toyota corolla!!! First unbolt entire fuse box. Take bottom covers off fuse box. Pull out three fuses together from fuse box from bottom side. Then you can unbolt the fuse you want. Then you can push fuse block back up inside big fuse assembly and the bolt back up and replace top!!!
