Fuses and fuses - General Information
Circuit breakers
To protect the contact for the electrical vehicle used various combinations of fuses, circuit breakers and fuse links. Mounting blocks are installed under the dashboard and in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The layout of the blocks may vary depending on the model and year of the car.
Each individual fuse used to protect a specific electric circuit or several circuits. The identification card of placement fuse in the mounting block is usually glued to the cover of the latter, with its inner side.
 | The mounting blocks are placed fuses compact design, equipped with bayonet contact terminals, and if necessary, easily recoverable fingers out of their sockets in the block. In case of refusal of any of the consumers of electricity in the first place you should always check the state of the corresponding fuse. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and with the help of a lamp-sampler prozondiruyte open terminals of each of the fuses. If the lamp lights up when connected to each terminal, therefore, the fuse is OK. If the voltage occurs only from the power supply, then the fuse is blown. Note also that usually the fuse is made of transparent plastic through which to easily determine the status of the working bridge. |
When replacing a blown fuse is strictly take care to set the replacement match the type withdrawn from the element. Designed for various nominal amperage fuse can physically no different from each other, without being interchangeable. Each of the electrical circuits have different operating parameters and needs of varying degrees of protection, so replacement of the fuse, calculated for a certain amount of current is not relevant to the parameters it is fraught with serious consequences (up to the fire). The operating parameters of the fuse (rated current) is usually indicated by its plastic housing.
If the new fuse immediately after installation also fails, it makes no sense to produce its further replacement - should first identify and eliminate the cause of the overload circuit. In most cases, such a short-circuit is the connecting wiring, it causes damage to the insulation.
Fuse
Fuse links are used to protect circuits in which for some reason can not be used in conventional fuses, such as the circuit of the ignition system, as well as for power applications in which high current circulating current.
On considered in this Guide models fuses are placed in the engine compartment located in the fuse box mounting.
To replace the fuse, disconnect the negative cable from the battery and pull the failed element, remove it from its landing slot.
 | If installed on the car stereo is equipped with a security code before to disconnect the battery make sure that have a correct combination for audiosystem input in action! Before you install in place of the failed fuse should find a new and correct the cause of the overload occurred. |
