11:38 pm, 4_22_2023 Saturday Thank you very much for this video, which is very detailed in helping others, like me, to perform a test on fuses. Gaining knowledge of car electrical function is significant. Please have a great day. Appreciated.
good advice!! you're the first one I've seen mention the important part where you have to make sure if the fuse is supposed to be hot all the time or not
Or you can move the test light clip from the negative to the positive to check if the both sides have ground running them when its not “hot” . Only if you have the multiuse test light
If you attack the test light clip to the negative and that light turns on when you check a fuse it’s because the surface you are touching with the test light has 12volts . And if you change your test light clip to the + on your battery now you can test the ground continuity in your fuses or wires . The light will turn on in your test light because it now has ground (if you are touching it with your testlight)
I have several fuses that don't work when being tested in the slots, however fuses aren't blown. I move those fuses to other locations and they do work, just not in the slots where they belong. When pulled out and inspected, the two silver prongs look burnt. What does this mean? I have a total of eight fuses that do not work and are burnt from pins but still function in other slots. Has anyone seen this before?
Hi would it be possible for a fuse to jump off the fuse box?sounds crazy but when my 12v power outlet didnt work ive check the manual and no fuse sits on that spot where the fuse should be be.
I got like a little black spot in my 20 amp yellow fuse and the lighter not working. But that fuse don't look broken. Could that black spot is brown fuse too.
I was wondering something I've been looking everywhere to find this answer. The cigarette fuse on my 2008 f250 super duty has a light purple colour on the top where it should be clear. It's a typical blue 20 amp fuse, but it's discoloured to that purple and looks kind of weird inside. It works though. Do you know why that would be purple and should I just simply replace it?
I'm thinking my 10A fuse is blown because I have a lot of things that are wrong with my vehicle that the 10A works for but mainly my dashboard my sunroof ignition switch has been acting wonky and my turn signal light I haven't checked the actual fuse yet I'm waiting till tomorrow but I'm guessing that's what the problem is I'm going to visually check it but it's good to know that there are two other tools that I could buy that would help me in the future I'm going to check all of my fuses and make sure they're all good I have a two fuse boxes I don't know if all vehicles do but I do one under the steering wheel and one in the hood of the car so it feels good to kind of know what's wrong with my vehicle
What if the fuses look good but won't work when installed I put a new one and that fixed the problem but the old fuse looked just as good as the new one
My car cracks and cracks, just won't turn. Just got a new starter so ik it's not that, i changed the fuses so i don't think it's that. But usually to get the car to start i make sure the fuses are in correctly and it starts, But today that didnt work
If I replace the fuse and I see a spark does that mean I just burnt the new one? Also my shifter won't shift out of park when ignition is on and my windshield wipers and my interior cab lights won't turn on plz help
@UC9OxdnfrQXHneaRzKMB-Fhg Will people get an electric shock if the key is not in the ignition and the battery is still not disconnected? I'm confused with battery disconnection, is it to disconnect the battery under the front engine cover or just a wire behind the radio?
Yes, I don't think fuses go bad like engine oil or transmission fluid, etc. Usually if a fuse blows it is because of excessive current draw. I think it would be a waste of time and money.
I have an amber Bussmann fuse (40) from my solar array charge controller that has one black blade. Can I safely assume (60%?) that it's burned out (it's been running for 6 years)? I'm praying that this is all the charge controller needs, since I just blew a wad (no pun intended) on 8 new marine batteries for the system. Please, God, spare an old broad. ;) Thank you, Juli B.
@@BarboursAutoHelp If by "continuity" you mean is the metal piece between the two blades attached, then yes, it is. However, the portion of the blade housed inside the amber covering is completely black on one of the blades.
