  No, no, no!!  The modern, HI-Tech way to do it is to build up a 
circuit to charge at least a 10 F supercap and discharge it through the 
fuse, thereby clearing the short.  The supercap is guaranteed to 
un-short almost any fuse you are likely to find, and could also be handy 
for jump starting your car if using 12v to charge it.  Just be sure your 
charging circuit can stand the guff, those things take a heck of a jolt 
without charge current limiting!!!
