An emergency way to remove the fuses from our car.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

What we see in the video is a well-known emergency trick among mechanics and enthusiasts. You just need to have a burnt fuse of the same size as the one you intend to remove on hand, and gently break it so that you have only half of its plastic casing, with the two internal metal blades exposed. Do not use an intact fuse. The trick works because the burnt fuse already has the two metal blades separated internally. An intact fuse would create a short circuit. We insert the two blades of the burnt fuse over the plastic body of the fuse to be removed, one on each side; we tighten the metal blades around the plastic of the good fuse, and the grip will be firm. We pull upwards decisively: the blades will act like a pair of pliers, exerting an even grip on both sides and removing the fuse without damaging it.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening.
