How to Replace a Fuse

Image
Replace Fuse Safety Tip: Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, for example latex gloves or closed toe shoes. 1 Indentify which electrical part is not working. 2 Using the owner's manual, locate the fuse box. Then, locate the fuse for the part that is not working. Photo may not be specific to your vehicle 3 Inspect the installed fuse with a test light by touching each side of the fuse. If it lights on one side but not the other, the fuse is blown. Photo may not be specific to your vehicle 4 Remove the blown fuse with the plastic fuse removal tool. The tool is usually located in the fuse box. Photo may not be specific to your vehicle 5 Install a new fuse with the same amperage rating. 6 Test the electrical part for proper operation to verify the repair.

How To Repair Burned Fuse Connector

Burned Fuse Connector Repair Car Fuse Connector Short Burned Out Helpful Information A car has many fuses, some protect a small system like a rear windshield wiper while others protect major system circuits, like the engine management system. The primary purpose of an electrical fuse is to help protect a circuit from damage in the event of a short. A fuse is designed to break stopping the voltage flow in the event of a power overload or short circuit. Each vehicle has several fuses that are necessary to safeguard electrical circuits. An electrical circuit will always fail at the point of highest resistance. Most of the time that point is the fuse holder. If an electrical circuit fails, an electric window system (for example) the first thing you should check is the fuse. Best Practices A burned fuse holder is not always easy to detect, in this case remove the fuse of the circuit in question and replace it with a new one. Next with the key in the "ON" position m...

How A Car Fuse Works?

FUSE Working Of Fuse In Car Circuit Step by step guide on how automotive fuses work. This information pertains to all vehicles. Step 1  - A fuse protects a circuit from overloading in extreme operating conditions or in the event of a short circuit. Most fuses are located in the vehicle's power distribution center. Power Distribution Center Step 2  - Inside the PDC are many heavy and light duty fuses which protect various circuits which demand a specific amperage. Heavy w/Light Duty Fuses Step 3  - All fuses are designed with an element which will melt if the circuit amperage exceeds the fuse rating. 80 Amp Fuse Element Step 4  -  A fuse is typically defined by the amperage rating its designed to protect, such as this 30 amp fuse. 30 Amp Fuse Step 5  - Fuse power is supplied by the positive battery cable which is attached to the positive side of the  battery . Fuse Power Feed Step 6  - To remove a fuse for inspection a...

How to Test Car relay

Testing Car Relay Car Electric Control unit Wiring And Relay Testing Helpful Information A relay is switch that utilizes an electrical trigger signal to activate. Once activated the relay connects an electrical supply to a particular accessory. These accessories can range from the main computer PCM (powertrian control module), radiator fan, fuel pump, door locks etc. There are two tests that should be considered when dealing with a relay problem, is the problem with the relay itself or is the problem a power or ground issue. A relay is prone to failure when used for a long periods of time (hot) or when the amperage of the accessory has increased beyond its designed use. A rely should be considered as two separate halves, the primary side which utilizes an electromagnet to close the secondary electrical circuit. This electromagnet is activated by a simple power (+) and ground (-) much like a light bulb circuit. The second half of the relay is the "switch" that contro...
