4. Only 4 could be filled before sinking and 5 was filled when Titanic collided with the iceberg.
The Titanic can stay afloat if four of the watertight compartments were flooded. Unfortunately, five of those compartments were flooded, and the ocean water was spilling over each compartment, accelerating her sinking.
Titanic's master builder, Thomas Andrews, had taken courses in naval architecture and ensured that Titanic could stay afloat with up to four compartments flooded.
The builders of the Titanic never actually said that the Ship was 'unsinkable'. It was just people's interpretations of the articles written about it. Quite simply, any ship can sink really. There is no such thing as 'unsinkable' :) too many compartment's filled up with water, it was only able to have four compartment's full and no more.

Four. But they filled five.

5 compartments were flooded, which was one too many, for the Titanic was designed to stay afloat with only 4 compartments breached

The Titanic sank after a collision with an iceberg opened a longer than expected crack in the hull below the water line, flooding too many of the water tight compartments for the ship to remain afloat. The shortage of lifeboats was part of the reason so many people died.
The alternator fuse on a Lexus is located in the rear of the engine compartment. It is housed in a water tight box along with many other vital engine fuses.
