How to Tell If Fuses Are Good

Replacing a blown fuse is the quickest and simplest fix you can do to your car. When a car accessory isnt working the first thing you should check are your fuses, as a broken fuse will result in some vehicle component not working.

Instructions

1

Locate your vehicles fuse box. Most vehicle fuse boxes are under the hood near the firewall, or under the dash. Consult your owners manual if you are having difficulty locating the fuse box and for the proper fuse ratings for your vehicle.

2

Open the fuse box.

3

Remove the fuse caully by using the fuse puller located in the fuse box. Grasp the fuse with the puller and pull straight out. If there is no fuse puller for your vehicle you can use a pair of needle-nose pliers.

4

Inspect the fuse. If the metal inside the fuse is separated the fuse has failed and needs to be replaced. If the metal is intact the fuse is still in working condition and can be reinstalled.

5

Replace fuse. If the fuse was blown, replace with a new fuse that is rated at the value recommended by your owners manual.
