Repair And Fix it

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.

Open the fuse box.

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.

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.

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

Turn off your cars engine.

Use your owners manual to identify where the affected fuse is. Open the fuse panel by grasping the handle and pulling out.

Identify the blown fuse. To remove a fuse, grasp it between your fingers and give it a firm pull. If you need to remove a fuse from the engine compartment, there is a special tool in that fuse box. The element of the damaged fuse will look burned or separated.

Replace the damaged fuse with a new one.

Replace the door of the fuse compartment. Do this by inserting the doors hooks into the slots and then pushing the rest of the door into place.
