Fuses
A fuse is the most common electric
protection device. A fuse is placed in an
electrical circuit, so that when current flow
exceeds the rating of the fuse it blows off.
The element in the fuse melts, opening
t h e c i r c u i t a n d p r e v e n t i n g o t h e r
components of the circuit from being
damaged by the over current. The size of
the metal fuse element determines the
rating. Once a fuse blows off, it must be
replaced with a new one.
Fuse Box Location
Fuse boxs are located in two different
places.
1. Engine compartment fuse box
