Part: Fuse box

It may seem strange, but sometimes the problems are not caused so much by the fuses, but by the fuse box itself. In fact, they can be subject to corrosion due to humidity and salt, and can be corroded, causing power interruptions and short circuits.

Excessive heat can also damage them, as well as shocks and vibrations, not to mention the normal wear and tear over time. Furthermore, faulty wiring can lead to short circuits, which can damage the fuse box. It should be noted that if the fuses inside burn out too frequently, the fault may be with the damaged fuse box, which in that case emits a characteristic smell of burnt plastic.
