Electrical problem?

The 30A maxi fuse in the power distribution box under the hood that, among other things, powers my prodigy brake controller blew while I was moving the prodigy to another location. I probably accidently touched the harness to ground at some point while the prodigy was disconnected. Found a 30A maxi at Auto Zone, but it wasn't until I inserted it that I noticed very fine print on the top of the fuse--it's a 30A,32V fuse. Will this be a problem? Everything seems to be working ok, but I haven't towed with it yet. If it is a problem guess I'll have to stop by a Ford store and buy the proper 12V model. Thanks for the help.

Re: Electrical problem?

Thats the MAXIMUM voltage it will handle. Any thing less is OK. Leave it.
