Houses have circuit breakers, cars do not.

Cars have fuses... some of the fuses are located under the dash on the driver's side (right in front of the dead pedal that you'd rest your foot on), some are located in the engine bay in various spots.

If you tell us the problem, we might be able to tell you exactly where to look... but I'd bet it's the fuse panel under the dash (those tend to be the ones that people blow).

cars should have breakers though.... then it be a fix as simple as the push of a button. also airplanes have breakers some have fuses though. lol.

Then explain to me then why is it that when you look at the "CIRCUIT DIAGRAM" on the 300ZX(Z32) it says circuit breaker on one of the wirrings.:017:http://www.300zx.co.uk/cgi-bin/manual.cgi

... Nissan parts catologues also call the crank angle sensor a "distributor," so the titles of parts aren't always what they are. I am sure there are no circuit breakers (in the traditional sense of the term "circuit breaker") in a 300ZX.

But again, what are you having a problem with? Because I'm sure we could help you solve it properly.

Well my alternator finally gave up. I took it to my local shop for a test just to make sure it's bad and it was. I put in the new alternator. The car started fine but after 3-5min. it starts to stumble. I check the battery reading and it was around 11V and falling. The battery is also new just a couple of weeks old. I check the wires from the alternator just to make sure that it was put on right and it was. I started the car again the same thing happend 3-5min then it stumbles and die. I proceeded to check the driver side fuses and it was all good. My next check was all the fussible links but sometimes a fussible link can be a pain to check because it will break during a short but it will look operative. I then proceed to check the "Circuit Diagram" and this what lead me to check the circuit breaker. Which I cannot locate. I think it might be one of the fussible link but before I buy one I want to make sure that it wasn't the circuit breaker if there is any.

My advice is to take it here...

The problem is not characteristic of a blown fuse or anything of that sort. You have deeper issues, I believe.
