How to Repair a Fuse in an Emergency.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

What happens if a fuse blows in your vehicle and you don't have a spare? Let's see how you can temporarily remedy the situation of not having the right fuse. It's advisable to keep a piece of aluminium foil in the car. Take your fuse and wrap it in the foil; even though the thickness has increased, it will still fit well, and it’s as if it is connected normally, allowing current to flow where the fuse has blown. If it was just a power surge, this trick will get you home. If there is a serious problem, it will blow again immediately, and you will need to call a breakdown service. However, you will have tried, and you will have had the chance to at least get to a garage.
