How to Identify a Blown Fuse in Your Vehicle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

Video tutorial

There are various methods to identify a blown fuse. The video shows how to check if the filament is broken, if there is a small gap, or if the plastic is melted or discoloured.

Sometimes, however, a fuse may look good to the naked eye but is broken under the plastic, in a hidden spot; it must therefore be tested with a multimeter. Remember that not all fuses are located under the dashboard; always check the maps on the cover before starting to work.

The most important advice is not to put a 20A fuse where there was originally a 10A; if there was a 10A fuse until that moment, there was a very valid reason.
