Automotive fuses, how to find fuses in the car, how to replace

The experienced people know if the household appliance de-energized, i.e. The voltage button is off - check the fuse. The same with the car - if problems with light in a car or electrical appliances problems - first of all it is necessary to find the fuse block and check the desired fuse. Basically, the problem is solved by replacing the fuse. However, the problem may be another, deeper: if the fuse burns out repeatedly - look for the reason, i.e. You need to go to the diagnosis.

What fuses are on cars

In everyday life for cars, mainly the fuses of three types are used: Contemporary-type software holders (flat fuses);

-cheramic fuses;

Constructors in the form of glass tubes.

If you have a modern car, most likely your car's fuse looks like a flat block, such flat fuses are connected to a block shield (simply laid into the block).

If you use a car released at the end of the twentieth century, after 80 years - these cars have fuses in the form of ceramic tubes.

And the fuse tubes are generally the style of "retro", are currently very rare.

Where are the fuses in the car and how to find them

Modern cars of all brands and models, mostly have fuse blocks located in two places.

The first location of the fuse block is under the dashboard of the front of the car's interior.

If you sit down to the driver's seat, then in the area of \u200b\u200byour left knee you can detect a fuse shield.

Plastic cover, which is usually marked, closed fuses. If you remove the lid - there will be a number of multi-colored fuses.

The colors of the fuses talk about different strengths of the current on which the fuse is calculated.

Carefully inspect the lid, usually there is a circuit protection circuit for fuses.

Consider carefully the scheme and on it you can find the fuse you need from the broken device.

In the store, some cars you can find spare fuses, as well as an assistant instrument in the form of a fuse puller.

Fuse puller will help remove the blown fuse and insert a new one.

If there is no puller, do not despair, you can replace the fuse with the power of your hands.

Reading this article you think, and how to understand that the fuse blocked? Very simple, look at it and you will see inside the fuse connecting two sticking contacts (as a bridge).

Find a new fuse with the same current strength and replace the blown fuse to the new one.

And now in front of you such a situation: you removed the cover of the fuses under the panel and "ku-ku" - there is no your desired fuse.

Do not worry, look for the second block, and it is located under the hood of the car.

You will easily find the fuse block, since the chain protection scheme is drawn on the cover.

In addition to the fuses of a flat type, under the hood you can detect the giants and various kinds of relays.

These fuses protect important electrical disperses or the entire electrical system of your car.

Replace the fuse under the hood even easier than under the dashboard.

Just find the desired fuse, remove it and install the new one.

Since you removed the cover of the fuse block, then after replacing the problem fuse - deliver the block cover to the place - and you will be happy in the form of restoration of the non-working electrical appliance.
