During the course of ownership of a car, there’s a strong chance that
you may blow an electrical fuse. When this happens, it isn’t a crisis,
it just means that an electric component in your car is drawing too much
power and for safety, a fuse stops the flow of current. Engineers
design cars to do this.
But how do you know if a fuse has blown? Most likely something will stop working. For example, it could be the backup lights, the turn signals, the radio, or even a headlight. Whatever the case, if a fuse blows, the device in question won’t work. The solution, of course, is to replace the fuse. “But I don’t know how to check fuses,” you might say. Relax, it’s easy and we will explain how.
In general, most vehicles on the road have two types of fuses. Older cars have glass, cylinder-shaped fuses with stainless steel caps on the ends. These type of fuses were very common a few decades ago and are rare now in cars. (You will still see them in a lot of other types of electronic equipment, though.) Today’s cars have a different style of fuse that uses a colored plastic housing with the fusible link encased in the housing. Read More :AutosVoice.com
