Your car's electrical system is something that you do not care for too much, until it breaks! And then the lights are not working, wipers refuse to work, the ventilator goes on strike and so on. Apparently, an appliance may have a lot of reasons not to work but if this happens with no other sign, think about the fuses.
Something about fuse
Any electrical installation needs a continuous circuit to operate. A vehicle has this 250v fuse placed along the circuit, to prevent possible damage due to overheating or overcharging. When the lamp, fan, windshield wipers will require a stronger current than that required normal operation, the fuse will melt, breaking the circuit and protecting the consumer.
Some details worth to know when changing a fuse:
- Always replace a defective fuse with one of the same current intensity. A higher value may result in Murphy's Law "consumer who has destroyed himself, protecting the fuse" and a too small one can burn instantly, not allowing auto supply at nominal power.
- Modern machines use basically two types of blade fuses, they are either maxi or mini format. The oldest cars use the ceramic cylinder model. Whatever it may have looked like, however, their operation is identical.
- 250v Fuses are color-coded, but they have different values depending on which market is addressed to.
Normally, the fuse box cover contains safety instructions on each fuse, in words or icons. If you're lucky, there you can even find a fuse replacement or small pliers with which fuses can be removed from their slots. About the location of the fuse boxes you can find in the operating manual of the car.
- The fact that safety is 'burned' can be seen very easily: the metal wire inside it discontinued.
- Changing the 250v fuse is very easy: using tongs to remove defective safety and insert the new fuse, pressing it gently. You can check if it's properly installed by starting the consumer: fan, windshield wiper or light bulbs.
CAUTION: If the new security continues to burn, make sure it has adequate value, prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer. If so, then the problem is deeper and has to go on in a machine shop. DO NOT try to put a fuse with a value greater than that prescribed, as this may destroy the electrical system and fire.
Good luck with changing you own 250v fuse.
If you're too busy and don't have any time left for changing your own 250V fuse, there are hundreds of companies that sell fuses and its team that helps you with your changing. Hundreds of companies have a 250 fuse to be proud of. The decision is up to you to choose. Remember, don't buy anything until you know a little bit of electronics or take an electrician/engineer friend to help you pick.
