Fuses are small, but very important vehicle details. Their role in the car is very significant. If the fuse does not burn with a short closure, then the car burns down. Independently replacing the fuses are very simple, if you know where they are located. About this further in the article.

Car fuses, from what they protect

The name itself explains why this small element is needed - it protects various vehicle mechanisms from excessive loads, taking a blow to itself, thereby not allowing the failure of the entire electrical wiring of the car.

With a short circuit, harsh and powerful casts occur. In the design of the fuse, the alloy jumper is obligatory, which is burning with a large current than the electrical circuit opens.

Types of fuses

There are three types of automotive fuses:

• Glass tubes;
  
• Ceramic fuses;
  
• Modern flat fuses.
  

If your vehicle was released earlier than 1980 or a little later, you most likely have ceramic fuses. Glass tubes are another obsolete type of fuses, which today is also quite rare. And the third look - flat blocks - most likely, they will stand in your car.

Fuses of modern cars why they are different colors

Fuse manufacturers make them color depending on the nominal, which is quite convenient for car owners. Having a colors table at hand, you will not be mistaken during the installation of the fuse.

Where are the fuses of a modern car

A shield with fuses, as a rule, is located in the cabin of the car under the instrument panel. The fuses are hidden behind the plastic lid, which is most often clearly marked. Open the lid. Here you will see a string of multicolored fuses located chaotically. Most likely, here you can also find a scheme (or on the opposite side of the lid, or somewhere nearby), showing which fuse which device corresponds to.

Why fuses burn

The reasons for which fuses burn out are somewhat:

1. The incorrectly selected fuse model (too weak) does not cope with the functions laid on it and fails.
2. Inside the electric motor of the car increases the current load. This is due to the release of fuses, as this is their task - to prevent voltage increase.
3. The fuse is poorly fixed in the block socket.
   
4. Reducing the resistance of one block entails an increase in the load on the other.
5. Over time, fuses cease to fulfill their options (temporary aging).
6. Overheating, vibrations, different blows are able to reduce the cross section of the melting part.

How to learn a fuse overwhelmed or not

There are two ways using which you can verify the health of the car fuses. The first is based on extracting them and visually inspect that not very reliable.

This situation implies the use of the tester. Checking the fuse with the tester, it must be set to the diagnosis of the integrity of the chain. When the fuse is intact, the tester arrow will rush to zero, which indicates zero resistance.

The second method of determining the burned fuse is based on a more convenient technology and when it does not have to remove the fuse from the socket. To do this, you will need a probe. Turn on the non-working chain, and then in turn, touch the outputs of the fuse using the probe. If there is a voltage in one output, and on the second is missing, then the fuse is faulty.

How to find out the fuse which chain burned

To find out, the fuse of which chain burned, the sample method, turn on the turnover stove, fan, headlights (near, long-range, fog lights), air conditioning, tape recorder, heated rear window and other electrical appliances. Bind of one prevent the inoperability of the entire chain entails the inoperability.

Fuse block one or two, if two where is the second

If you did not find the desired fuse under the instrument panel, do not worry. There is also a second fuse block, which is located under the hood. As a rule, it is very easy to find due to the obvious scheme, which is drawn on the lid.

MINI, MAX, MEDIUM fuses than different where apply

To date, different MINI, MAX, MEDIUM fuses are produced, which differ in overall sizes and constructive features: mini are small (come in conventional and low), max - large, medium - medium.

Advice Property: Burned Fuse - Signal Possible Problem

If the fuse burns out, this may indicate problems with a specific device or a node, for which it is responsible for the correct work. That is, the fuse indicates where a malfunction was "hid" in the electrical system.
