FAQs

What's wrong with my fuse box? ›

The two most common symptoms are: An overloaded circuit which will blow the fuses in question. As a result, this will cause any associated devices to disconnect. Lastly, the smell of burning is another clear indication of a faulty fuse, as well as the smell you will notice burn marks on the fuse box.

Your fuse box will have two sets of fuses. At the bottom will be 15-amp and 20-amp screw-in fuses with glass faces that are exposed and visible. These fuses will service branch light circuits and outlet circuits. At the top will be 30-amp or 40-amp cartridge main fuses for ovens, laundry rooms, or stoves.

One of the most obvious issues with fuses is when they blow or open, which means they interrupt the current flow and stop the device from working. Blown fuses are usually caused by excessive current, voltage spikes, or external damage.

A fuse box diagram will show you what kind of fuse goes into each slot and the exact amperage to use. If you are unable to locate a fuse box diagram, consult with your local auto mechanic. They should be able to provide you with the necessary information and help you replace or install a fuse correctly.

Remove the fuse from its holder. In some cases you may need a small screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder cap. Look at the fuse wire. If there is a visible gap in the wire or a dark or metallic smear inside the glass then the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.

Well, you see, that fuse protects the ECU (Engine control unit or ECM engine control module) from over amperage's. So if there's an electrical surge, the brain is protected. On a newer model car the ECU/ECM controls everything ignition related AT LEAST. Timing, ignition, air.

Car fuse boxes may fail because of overheating for several reasons, particularly, added electrical accessories or components that produce overloaded currents.

We would not recommend changing your own consumer unit and fuse box as electrical work should be carried out by a qualified professional, but it is helpful to understand the process.

Can you fix a blown fuse yourself? ›

You can definitely fix a blown fuse yourself if you have the right replacement fuses and feel comfortable moving through the inspection and repair steps. Once you inspect the fuses, you're halfway to fixing it anyway, so you might as well give it a try at that point.

Your current fuse box is getting old – If your lights keep flickering or your sockets do not seem to be working as well as they should, then this is a sure sign that your fuse box is beginning to deteriorate. This often starts when the fuse box is over ten years old.

The fuse box is designed to house the fuses and relays to prevent damage from weather conditions, water, and other driving situations. Car fuse boxes may fail because of overheating for several reasons, particularly, added electrical accessories or components that produce overloaded currents.
