One day it worked fine then the next I tried to dry and I pressed the button and it hesitated then died. It might be the fuse but we cant find it. Its old as hell but I dont want to buy a new one if I dont have to.|||Electric dryers usually don%26#039;t have their own fuses. The circuit that it is plugged into would have a fuse or (more likely) a circuit breaker in your panel box, probably in the basement. Look in the panel box for a fuse that is burnt out or a breaker that is tripped (that is when the switch is in between the on and off positions). If you find a blown fuse or tripped breaker you can replace the fuse or reset the breaker but you will have to find out why it failed in the first place. Call a technician. This is not something you should fool with if you don%26#039;t know about this stuff. |||Most likely the problem is with the timer or the motor itself. You can have it repaired, but is it worth it? A new one will be much more efficient, which will save you time and money. It%26#039;s a decision only you can make, but age is definitely a factor. Good luck.|||I have an electric dryer and it has it%26#039;s own fuse for the heating element. It%26#039;s located next to the heating element.

How hard is it to change a fuse box in a 95 Pontiac Grand Prix?
There are some friends of mine that have a motor route (newspaper delivery) and a piece of the fuse box melted and they have to replace it.

How much does it cost to change the fuse for a cigarette lighter in a car?
I have a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer, and the cigarette lighter in my car, I believe has a blown fuse. I was wondering how much would it cost to replace it, and if I would be able to do it myself. Thanks.|||Fuses are very cheap, and replaced easily. Fuse box should be under the dash. Replace the fuse only with one of the same or lower amps. A higher amp fuse could possibly cause a fire.|||a pack o fuses cost about 4 dollars.But there are usually a couple of spares in your fuse box|||find the fuse and put it in///////|||Most fuses are super cheap, under a dollar perhaps. Check your user manual, they%26#039;re really easy to replace, too.|||about a dollar... and if you can get down under your dash where the fuse holder is you can change it yourself...|||fairly straight forward get to the fuse box lid you will see the motif , although it may be the lighter unit itself is everything else working things like the interior lamp horn etc as these item,s usually are on the same fuse

Does cruise control on a 2001 Honda Civic utilize a fuse?
A couple of weeks ago my cruise control went out ... it doesn%26#039;t work and the light no longer illuminates on the dash. I%26#039;m hoping that it is as easy as changing a fuse ... but I see no documentation of this in the user manual.|||you need to have both the master switch ON and the steering wheel set switch pushed in to engage the cruise control. My guess is that you accidently turned off the Master Switch when you were dusting off your dash or otherwise hit the switch by accident.
The master switch is located on the dash board to the left of the steering wheel between the steering wheel and the door. When the switch is ON there is a green LED that lights up on the switch when you have the ignition key turned ON. If the light is out with the igntiion key ON, the switch is not turned ON. Push the switch in to turn it ON. That should also turn on the light on your instrument panel that says Cruise Control.
I think its that easy.
Hope that helps|||Yes look in the fuse box under the Dash.
It may be marked cruise / ACC|||check your brake light switch on the brake pedal. check the adjustment, and if its white then replace it. it is $9. very comon on those.

Is it ok if i put wire in a spoiled fuse to prevent from changing to a new one?
I accidentally spoiled the 3 amp fuse by breaking the wire in it into half. I dunno where to get the buss type fuse so i just insert a wire in it and fix it back to the speaker fuse jack and it works... Just wanna know will it make any damages?|||Yes...you can. But it is not advisable. The fuse is there to protect from overload from CURRENT.
If you NEED to do this....you can...but only for the short-term. The fuse MUST be replaced.
You CAN seriously damage your equipment!!|||You certainly WILL! Turn it off and replace it .
It%26#039;s got a vacuum like a light bulb. No dice, won%26#039;t blow properly like it should. It SHOULD, too...that protects it! If it blows a lot it needs repair!
You blew the fuse and it%26#039;s not the least bit repairable...Go to Radio Shack or some other electronics store and get more. I%26#039;ve even found them at Home Depot! It%26#039;s a 3AG/AGC type.
Don%26#039;t use less and especially more, as less with blow faster and more and MORE won%26#039;t blow right or at all and can harm the set.
I got a 1969 Pioneer receiver, top of the line that year (SX-1500T) at the auction and I found it there with a 12 amp car value (same type and size) that somebody had decided would keep it from blowing. Surely enough, 30 seconds with power at my home and BANG! I had to get the output stage repaired...not fun and thank goodness it was repairable, as it%26#039;s a nice set.
DON%26#039;T OPERATE WITHOUT ONE!|||The fuse is there to prevent damage from excess current. By replacing the wire you have changed the fuse%26#039;s maximum current and an over-current may cause damage to your equipment.
It will most likely work for now but I would suggest getting a new fuse soon.

How Can I Change a fuse for my rear wiper for a Nisssan Quest 1995 ?
Where excatly do I put the fuse for the rear wiper motor for my Nissan Quest 1995? Is it in the back of the Quest? Or is it under the hood?|||The fuse you are looking for is to the left of the steering wheel, behind an access panel. The interior fuse box , fuse #15 is for the rear wiper, it should be a ten amp fuse. When looking at the front of the fuse panel, it will be the second fuse from the bottom on the right side row of fuses.|||Not 100% certain, but it should be with the rest of the fuses. Check the diagram or your owner%26#039;s manual.|||It might be under the hood...but i have noticed a lot of smaller cars have the fuse box in the glove box.|||Break out your owner%26#039;s manual (usually in the glove box) and find the section on fuses. Once you find the section, it will tell you where your fuse block is.
If I had to venture a guess, it will be either under the hood, or under the left side of the dash.|||under the hood there should be a fuse pannel...on the cover of that there it should say what fuse is for what...take your wind shield wiper fuse(its for both right and left on front and back)and look at the 2 metal pieces see if its bet or burnt.them shake to see if it rattels...if it does rattell u need to get new fuses...most cars have extra fuses in a box near the pannel when you buy them.if not undere the hood then on the the passenger side where your feet go...good luck and messege me back...

How do you change the fuse in a flourescent light?
I have replaced the bulbs and the light will not work. Hubby says fuse needs to be replaced but I dont know how to do it. And he wont do it for me...always at work or too tired! Thanks for your help!!!|||Fluorescent lights do not contain fuses. They contain a device called a ballast, which is a black brick-shaped device with a number of wires coming out; these occasionally fail, and can be replaced: new ones cost $10 to $20, depending on type. But a more plausible failure point is the starter, which is a small aluminum cylindrical can-shaped device, about an inch long and 3/4 inch in diameter. NOTE: many fixtures do not use starters, as the necessary functionality is provided by the ballast. But if yours does, try replacing it: turn the device about 1/8 turn to the left, and it will come out. It will have a designation such as FS-4 on it; get a replacement with the same designation. Starters are cheap. If replacing the starter does not work, or there isn%26#039;t one, replace the ballast: remove the old one (cut the wires that go to the lamps about in the middle of each wire, and unscrew the wire nuts that secure the black and white wires to the power supply) and take it to the hardware store for a suitable replacement. To install the new one, you will need some wire nuts to connect the wires from the new ballast to the old lamp socket wires.|||remove the lights, the fuse is round made of metal,unscrew it Turning counterclockwise, replace with one same type.|||Just unscrew it and take it to a hardware store and buy a replacement fuse and go home and screw it back in.|||Not all fluorescent fixtures have fuses. Most modern fluorescent fixtures only have ballasts and sometimes starter capacitors. Since you have replaced the bulbs you can eliminate them but you probably should take the ballast out and go to a good hardware store and ask a knowledgeable associate for help. More than likely it is the ballast that has failed.
Look into other options also. Often a new fixture is a cheaper option than replacing the ballast. Keep your options open.|||A fluorescent light does not have a fuse. Older models have starters. The starter is a small silver cylinder that has 2 prongs on the end that makes the connection with the light. Just twist counterclockwise and remove. Replace it with the same starter. The number of the starter is stamped on the side, such as FS2, etc.|||Why not just replace the fixture and be done?! Fixtures are so cheap these days!|||There is most likely no fuse in the light itself. Plug something else into the receptacle to check and see if the circuit breaker or fuse is blown. A radio works well for this. If there is power, the circuit is good and the problem is with the light fixture. If the circuit is dead, find the electrical panel. Unless you are in a really old building, the circuits will be protected by breakers rather than fuses. If there is a fuse, the blown one will be identifiable by finding the one with a visibly open conductor (look through the glass in the center). Unscrew it and replace it with a new on of the same amperage. If it is a breaker, on some types the lever moves to the center when tripped. Move it to the off position to reset (usually towards the outside edge of the panel and then turn it to the %26quot;on%26quot; position. If the light fixture is the problem, it is most likely the ballast. You can get a replacement at the hardware store (get the exact lable information from the old one). Unplug the light or turn off the circuit at the panel. Unhook one wire at a time and reconnect the new ballast|||Probably a bad ballast. Shame on Hubby for not taking care of this for you. Replacement of the ballast is very simple because all wires are color coded.

The easiest way to rectify the problem is find the negative side of your horn and make up a patch lead to go between the horn and the car body. Failing this you need to buy a new horn.|||1st disconnect the terminal from the horn, then try a fuse, if it blows your horn is ok, but would think you have a bare wire somewhere between the horn %26amp; push button|||Sounds like a short circuit somewhere.

We blew a fuse, installing a new light post. How do we find what fuse was blown when it is not labled. It is an outdoor outlet that was blown. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And how do we change it? |||If they are indeed fuses, you can look into them (most residential fuses have a little window) and see if they%26#039;re blown.
Breakers, if that%26#039;s what you mean by %26quot;fuse%26quot; generally will indicate they are tripped by the toggle lever being loose, so try gently pushing on each one as though you were going to turn it off - a tripped one should allow the lever to move further towards %26quot;OFF%26quot; than an untripped one.
When you say it is an outdoor outlet that was %26quot;blown%26quot;, are you sure it%26#039;s not a GFI (ground fault interrupter) outlet? If it is, that may be what needs to be reset. If a GFI keeps tripping on an outdoor installation, it indicates either a short-circuit or a leakage path to ground, so re-check your wiring.|||This question makes me think you may need to call an electrician.
But if you want to diy you will need a multi-meter so you can measure volts and ohms.
Before pulling a fuse check for voltage, when no voltage check for ohms. If no ohms, also called resistance, that is the blown fuse.

Mark that one too. If you do this, in the future, you%26#039;ll know which fuse to change when one blows. If its a circuit breaker, do the same as above, but you don%26#039;t have to unscrew it. Just flip the switch the opposite way, wait for a couple of seconds, and flip it back. It makes it much easier in the future if you mark the breakers or fuses with labels.
Good luck and I hope this helped.|||Do you have fuses or breakers?

I HAVE A 2003 OLSMOBLE ALERO AND I WAS CHANGING A FUSE, I PULLED THE WRONG ON AND NOW MY SECURITY LIGHT IS ON AND IT WILL NOT START......PLEASE HELP!!!!!!|||You can try the theft relearn but you may need to take it to a dealer so they can clear the codes and use a scan tool to program the BCM.
1 Turn the key on and try to start the car (it will not start)
2 leave the key in the on position and watch the security light after 10 minutes it will go off.
3 once the security light goes off turn the ignition off and wait 5 secs
4 Turn the key to the crank position this will learn the code but not start
5 turn the key off wait a few secs then try to start the car
Even if this does work you should still take it to a shop to check/clear any remaining codes.

Changing a fuse in a head unit's wire?
i recently asked a question about my sony xplod head unit...its most likely a blown fuse in my wire. but is a wire fuse replaceable or do i need a whole new wire? help me out here people, thanks!|||all the fuses are replaceable. You may want to check the fuse in your cars fuseblock also since sometimes they will blow without blowing the inline fuse on the radio.|||Just pull out the fuse and replace it with the EXACT same one.

Is it possible to black out a whole street when changing a fuse?
I%26#039;ve never heard of it happening, but if the big fuse that supplies the step-down transformer for the area is in poor shape, and you somehow short-circuit your home%26#039;s power line, and the circuit breakers that protect your power line are a bit slow, then yes, you could blow that transformer fuse and black out at least a few of your neighbors. These are a lot of %26#039;if%26#039;s%26#039;, and we try to take them all into account when we design power equipment.
I would have originally answered %26#039;no,%26#039; but a week ago the fuse on our power transformer blew for no apparent reason and blacked out seven houses.|||I would have to agree with 2n2222. It is possible, but not something that would be common. If in doubt as to the possibility, turn off the power coming to the fuse box. If the fuse box is such that there is that kind of concern then you might want to consider other dangers as well, such a fire from a faulty fuse box. Get the box changed for a more current circuit breaker box.|||Yes......if the fuse was wrongly oversized for an existing fault conditon|||Yes.
If for example that %26quot;fuse%26quot; is actually a main bus bar for the house, if you did not turn off all the stuff in the house, when you stick the bar in you create a sudden and large load on the system. For example, the motors of the refrigerator, air conditioners and fans all kick on at the same time and starting a motor is when there is greatest demand. If the system for that block is already maxed out, that extra sudden load can cause a main circuit breaker to cut out for that street.
It is also possible if you have a backup generator. If it is not properly installed, it may continue to run when the main line comes on and if it is not in phase with the power line, it could cause a circuit breaker to open.
But in general I seriously doubt it would happen with just replacing a single fuse in a house.
More in likely whatever caused your fuse to blow in the first place is related to the power failure on the entire street. Instead of the fuse replacement causing the street problem, the street problem caused the blown fuse.

Changing a fuse help please?
my fuse in the kitchen blew out. I have the old screw in type fuses. the one that blew out controls my fridge. It has a copper type sleeve on the end similar to a lightbulb and on the face it says 25T. But when i went to the store they only have a 20TL or a 30TL with the same copper sleeve. In my fusebox next to the fuse that blew out is also another 25T that controls from what i could figure out my front porch light, indoor wall outlit which has a lamp on it and the clock radio in my bedroom. I dont know wether to use the 20 or the 30? Would the 30 be too much amps and cause my house to catch fire or should I use the 20. I was so confused I bought both kinds and right now i am using the 20. so far so good. Also on the back of the box of fuses it says do not put more watage than is allowed in the socket or it can cause a house fire. But the front of the fuse says amps not wattage. Are they the same or different. I am so confused. Help me please.|||Always better to go with the lower amp rating when replacing fuses if they don%26#039;t have exact size of the old blown fuse. Now days 25 amps is sort of an odd size and the old type screw in fuse boxes are hardly used anymore, that is maybe why they didn%26#039;t have a 25. You can always take the 30 back for refund, or keep it to replace a 30 that blows-if you have an existing 30. Amps(current) are the intensity of the flow of the electrons being pullled through the wire to whatever device is using the electricity. Wattage is the power being used by the same device. Usually when you have to replace an electrical item it will have several different ratings such as an amp rating a voltage rating and a watt rating-that,of course, is what they have been tested up to and not to exceed.
Hope this answer help to alleviate the confusion.|||Never use a fuse thats rated higher then the one you replace or what is indicated on the panel. You can use the 20amp temporarily in the non critical fuse location and use the 25 amp in the kitchen circuit.
Then when you can replace the 20 with one of the same rating.
The 20t ,25t 30t, is just the current rating (amps) you need not try to calculate the wattage.
You may also want to save up your pennies and get your electric sevice and panel upgraded soon. Fuses were good for their time but are not the safest things.|||watts = volts x amps. Thus, a 15 amp circuit (typical in houses ) can carry 15 x 120 = 1,800 watts. On this circuit you could handle say 30 60w bulbs. An electric heater probably draws around 15,00 watts by itself.
Based on what you said, use the 20-amp fuse. This such be sufficient since higher capacity circuits are typically used for special applications like electric dryers.|||you can try this site: http://www.fuseone.com/|||old screw in type fuses are illegal

I blew a fuse in my garage, changed fuse still no power?
I was in my garage and I plugged 2 space heaters in an outlet. And the power goes out, so I changed the fuse in the garage. Still no power, I changed the ones in the house. Still nothing, I went to the hardware store bought brand new fuses and still no power. What could it be?|||If this is a circuit with GFCI outlet, especially if heaters were plugged into it, you may have tripped the circuit breaker on the GFCI outlet. Last year a cover for aq gfci outlet got broken off. A day or so later 1/2 of my garage power quit working. Nothing I did seemed to help. On a hunch, I replaced the gfci outlet, along with a new cover and everything started working. If the outlet is not a gfci, check to see if it is wired into a circuit with a gfci someplace in the line.|||Maybe it%26#039;s double fused, more fuses at the main panel?|||You may have to check to see if the range fuses are blown in the fuse box in the house or garage. The fuses that screw in are branch circuit fuses. There are two main fuses behind the plastic block above the branch circuit fuses. Pull on the D ring to pull out the block and you will see them. They are either 30 or probably 60 amp fuses. One of these is probably blown.|||Unplug the heaters! One of them could have a short. Use a flashlight and check every receptacle for burning. (also smell them for a burned smell) the chances are that the fuse saved your house from burning down when a wire in the system fried. if you still cant find the problem, call an electrician to test the wires.
Why wont my citroen C2 start after changing fuse box? help?
The car is completely dead. Charged the battery up a bit as car lying in the cold for over a week. Lights, igniton etc came on before but wouldnt start so the AA told me I needed a new fusebox. Bought a new one and replace it now the car is dead, no light, ignition, nothing. Can anyone help diagnose the problem?|||You have run foul of a very common problem these days, so listen carefully.
Modern cars DO NOT have conventional electrics controlling them, instead they have a MUCH more complicated multiplexed digital electrical network controlling them. This is not unique to french cars either, you will find it in almost all European cars, this is why European cars have so much more technology on them. In fact the electrics on your car are mostly German! (Bosch)
However, most people (like your mechanic friend, the AA man and all the other answerers of this question [except Steve J]) are blissfully unaware that cars underwent such a radical change almost 10 YEARS AGO! And so these people continue to offer horrendously inaccurate advice (the AA man%26#039;s ignorance cost you 拢240) (if you listen to another answerer it will cost you almost 拢100 for a new battery)
Unfortunately because most people know even less about their car than the man offering the bad advice then they make the mistake of listening to him and it costs them a lot of money.
Now for the helpful bit. I specialise in modern car electrical problems and have been fully trained by Citroen, and have spent years successfully solving problems like yours day in-day out.
Firstly, your car has 2 fuse boxes, one is under the bonnet (PSF1) and one is under the dash behind the glovebox (BSI).
The PSF1 is the one that supplies power to the fuel pump, so i will assume that this is the fusebox the AA man said wasn%26#039;t working. He was very probably wrong (the AA have a few very simple checks they do that cover most common problems, and this is one of them. Unfortunately in this case the check verifies nothing as the system does not work the way they think it does. AA men are not usually skilled at %26#039;proper%26#039; diagnostic work)
On your car the various computers have to decide to turn the fuel pump on, if they decide that the immobiliser should still be armed then they will supply power to lights, wipers etc but they will not supply power to the fuel pump or engine etc. So a simple check can reveal the fusebox is not powering up the pump, but this does not mean the fusebox is faulty, it means %26quot;why is the fusebox not AUTHORISING power to the pump?%26quot; The fault will lie deeper within the computers, if i was able to plug a Citroen diagnostic tool into your car and interrogate it then i would be able to read hundreds of different parameters and from that information i could tell you where the fault lies (it will be something simple and fairly cheap, it usually is) Since i can%26#039;t do that you will have to bite the bullet and get the car to a GOOD Citroen dealership somehow.
The reason that your car is worse since you replaced the fusebox is because the fusebox is a computer that needs to be configured and programmed by Citroen%26#039;s diagnostic tool. Once this is done the fusebox will work correctly (although i suspect you will still have your original problem as the fusebox wasn%26#039;t at fault).
My advice is to swap the old fusebox back onto the car (much easier and cheaper than going to Citroen)
Remember, the only people that REALLY know about your car electrics are Citroen Consultant/Senior technicians, even a master tech for another manufacturer will not know the details about your Citroen. So it is always better in the long run to just take it to a Citroen dealer in the first place, at least then you will not waste hundreds of pounds on parts that will not fix it. If the dealer makes a mistake and replaces the wrong part you do not have to pay as it is their fault and they should know better. I know the dealer is usually more expensive, but with problems like this they will be a lot cheaper than allowing ignorant people the opportunity to compound your problems!

Can you help me change a fuse on my dodge charger?
I have 2007 base model dodge charger and the tail light fuses keep burning out, I have to go on a long car ride tonight and it%26#039;s not safe! I know where the fuse panel is (under the hood) but what fuse do I change?
The car dealership says I have past front end damage that%26#039;s causing the wires to blow fuses, they had to change fuses 2 times and it lasts for about a day|||I know my first suggestion won%26#039;t help with tonight%26#039;s drive, but it will save you a lot of hassle in the long run to get the electrical problem fixed entirely. Did you buy the car this way?
Anyway, I found your owner%26#039;s/service manual on the Dodge website. It looks like your blown fuse might be in cavity 19. It is a 10 amp red fuse. Pull this one out of the box, using tweezers or pliers if needed. If the metal link inside the fuse is separated, that means it%26#039;s blown. Put a new 10 amp red fuse in there, close the box properly, and you%26#039;re set to go.
If that fuse *isn%26#039;t* blown, you%26#039;ll have to check other ones till you find the one that is blown. Your manual says that cavity 29 also supplies power to your stop lights. It uses a 5 amp orange fuse.
By the way -- I didn%26#039;t see %26quot;tail lights%26quot; listed in the fuse chart. All I saw was %26quot;stop lights%26quot;, so that%26#039;s where I%26#039;m getting the information.|||it should be marked, tail lights, take a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out and put another 1 in.|||Sort the problem first... damaged wiring could cause a fire!!!!|||fix the problem first. if you don%26#039;t the wires are just going to keep sorting out and the fuse is just going to keep blowing. but if you want to just change the fuse, look at the fuse box cover and it should say what each fuse is for, or else just look in your manual.
The car dealership says I have past front end damage that%26#039;s causing the wires to blow fuses, they had to change fuses 2 times and it lasts for about a day|||I know my first suggestion won%26#039;t help with tonight%26#039;s drive, but it will save you a lot of hassle in the long run to get the electrical problem fixed entirely. Did you buy the car this way?
Anyway, I found your owner%26#039;s/service manual on the Dodge website. It looks like your blown fuse might be in cavity 19. It is a 10 amp red fuse. Pull this one out of the box, using tweezers or pliers if needed. If the metal link inside the fuse is separated, that means it%26#039;s blown. Put a new 10 amp red fuse in there, close the box properly, and you%26#039;re set to go.

Wrong fuse installed in home fuse box - lights don't work. How do I fix this?
I have a house built in the 1950s. It has a fuse box. I was changing fuses the other night to resolve a problem and at one point I removed a 20 amp fuse and went to replace it with another 20 amp fuse - problem is I was holding a 15 amp fuse. When the 15 amp fuse got close to the 20 amp socket I saw a spark fly. At which point I pulled the fuse back, realized what I did and promptly installed the correct 20 amp fuse. All bedroom ceiling lights and regular outlets associated with this line no longer work. Is there a way to fix this? Note: This fuse box besides having fuses also has some large shotgun like shell %26quot;fuses%26quot; I guess. Thanks!|||Dear Sparky,
Old fuses are much like a light bulb. The only reason they do not emit light is that the element inside is designed to break contact instead of overheat and glow. The spark was not caused by screwing in the wrong %26quot;wattage bulb%26quot;. You screwed a light bulb in with the switch on is what happened. Perhaps turning off the switch before replacing the bulb is a good idea. Unplug or turn off all fixtures associated with that fuse. Replace the fuse again. Check the circuit. Still nothing? ... Call a repairman or ask me directly by e-mail by going to my site (link below) I%26#039;ll walk you through it step by step if it means your home will be safe and no one will get hurt.|||ok|||power check is needed, but u may have blown a (shotgun) cartrige fuse. please be xtra carefull. if you have doubts call some1. u can contact me 4 more advice.|||You probably blew one of the main stick fuses that feeds one side of the box. It fed the side that your 20 amp screw fuse is on. Get a flashlight and go to the fuse box.
Shut off the main box (pull handle down) and then remove both stick fuses. * Prior to this purchase 2 new stick fuses - take one to a hardware store to make sure you get the right fuse.
Replace both stick fuses and also your 20 amp fuse with new ones.
* Have you added anything new to the bedroom circuits such as a space heater, or other appliance? If so unplug these and turn off the bedroom lights in the room where they went off.
Now throw the on/off lever back up on your main box and see if that solves the problem.|||Well, you have blown more fuses. The %26quot;shotgun%26quot; types - you describe (LOL)...... is really another fuse for your washer/dryer and or cooking oven /hot plates.
You have to replace them too. Check other fuses.
Replacing with 15 amp instead of 20 amp does not cause major damage - except that when you went to replace the fuse, the appliance was left on. So, it was sucking up juice worth 20 amp while your fuse blew when you had a 15 amp. No major damage done.
Check all fuses and replace as necessary. You are good to go.|||Call a qualified professional electrician, this is probably a bad cartridge fuse, but you may have some other very serious problems in the panel or in your branch circuits. This project needs an experienced, qualified professional to do the work. Since you still have a fuse panel, it may be time to consider a major overhaul to your system. The insulation on the wire from the %26#039;50%26#039;s does deteriorate over the years, it was designed for 30-40 years and it may need a complete upgrade.

Can my HID get brighter by changing fuse?
so recently i bought a HID kit cost me 80 bucks, 60 for shipping, 18 for the actual kit.
so it%26#039;s 8000k, plug and play,
my car is Acura 1.6 EL 1997
first week with these lights, they%26#039;re pretty bright and nice
some reason, they%26#039;re getting darker, and one side starts to have some %26quot;shaking light%26quot; problem, and i don%26#039;t kno why
i read the manual , they said can upgrade the light brightness by changing to the 20 amp fuse, and appearntly there is a 50 hours break in time, before it gets to the brightest point
so i wanted to changed the fuse, my friend helped me and he found out the one i have is already 30 amp,
so question is would they get brighter by changing from 30 to 20?
thanks everyone|||Lowering the value of the fuse will most likely result in no light, as the lower rating will open the fuse.
You may need to rewire with a larger wire from the fuse box to the lamps. A larger wire introduces less resistance in the circuit, allowing a greater voltage and current to reach the lamps.
See the link for an excellent overview of automotive lighting tech.|||probably just a poor set of ballasts or bulbs, the wiring going in can be minimal gauge, the wiring in the kit should be enough to power the bulbs.
The fuse will change nothing.|||no, its just for protection incase something would go wrong the fuse would blow instead of wiring burning up|||No.

Driving lights and dash lights dont work. indicators and brake lights DO work, tried changing the fuse....?
I think it might have something do with the signal lever seeing as it only seems to be the three lights operated by rotating the stick that dont work. Changing the fuse did not solve the problem... however the inside clock still works when the lighs are off but as soon as i rotate for the lights to come on the clock goes off!! and obviously no lights come on!
Indicators and brake lights still work.
Is this an electrical fault or is there something i have not thought to check yet?|||the first thing that comes to mind is. Make sure that the dimmer switch is not in the dimmest position as for the driving lights well like the last guy sed so rudely we need more info but may still not be able to help|||Your car/truck is WHAT YEAR/MAKE/MODEL?

Dishwasher turns off all sockets. Changing fuse doesn't help.?
When the dishwasher is plugged, no sockets work, and i have to flip the little switch on the electrics box.
I have changed the fuse, as this is often a common case, and i replaced it with a brand new same ampage one, still no luck.
what else can i try, it is full up of dirty dishes which are beginning to smell... oh yeah and I%26#039;m home alone... help!|||Hello Matt-Cox;
The dishwasher should be on a dedicated circuit, nothing else plugged into it, same as the refrigerator. The appliance is obviously drawing more current than your fuse can handle. This is a fire hazard and it must be inspected by a qualified technician.
Do not risk using a higher rated fuse, as this will make the fire risk greater.|||Your dishwasher is pulling to much wattage causing the electrical system to over heat which is causing your breaker to do its job and shut your electric system down. Big Fire hazard. What you could do is to unplug everything that is plugged into the electrical outlets that is being turned off when you loose power to your dishwasher. These items are all running to the same circuit breaker. (Coffee maker, toaster, maybe your air conditioner and anything else that you may have plugged in.) Plug in just your dishwasher and try it again. What ever you do, do not put in a larger size amp fuse. This will let your house wiring get so hot that it could start a fire. If your dishwasher is a portable one try plugging it up in a different outlet. Most of all before you let your house get stinky. Wash your dishes by hand.|||hi if its tripping the RCD it a fault with earth and neutral. if its the MCB or just a fuse then could be over loaded. it should be wired with 2.5 T%26amp;E on a 16A/15A fuse/MCB. if its blowing a fuse with 30A or 32A on it. this means its wired in with the sockets which is the wrong way to wire it altogether and you might need to get a new wire from ur electrics box(LOL) to ur dishwasher. could be a big job it all depends.|||The dishwasher is tripping the RCD (Double-width (green)? switch in the main board). It%26#039;s an electrical fault (damp, failed element, dodgy pump) in the dishwasher.
Wash up by hand until it%26#039;s fixed.|||yea what the last one said, only u%26#039;ll need a 13a fused spare above dishwasher to isolate it if you need to.

How does one go about changing a fuse?
do you just pop it out like a tooth ?|||sometime its best to unhook the battery first then jus pop it out and put the new one in|||basically thats all you do or else your car will have a tool for it and put it in the opposite of how you pulled it out|||Yoy aint gotta undo the battery,just pull it out and put the new on in,the fuse block is located under dash on drivers side to the left of the sterring colum.|||just take a pair of needle nose pliers and pull out the old 1 and take the new 1 and push it in where the old 1 came out of.
Can you Correctly sequence the steps in changing a fuse wire? EASY 10 points ?
a. Restore power from the mains
b. Switch off power at the mains
c. Replace fuse in the fuse holder.
d. Remove fuse from the fuse holder.
e. Replace fuse wire with new fuse wire of the correct amps. Don鈥檛 use the blown fuse as guide as it could have been the wrong one in the first place.

My 1990 lexus ls400 wont start after changing a broken fuse. it worked fine before we changed the fuse though?
my 1990 lexus ls400 wont start after i changed the fuse that controls the radio, tail light, steering wheel adjuster. if i take out the new fuse the car starts but all the above things wont work but if i put the fuse in the car wont start but all the above will work. any suggestions?|||My suggestion is take it to a auto repair shop.
Will changing fuse make 1995 integra door lock work?
The pass. side door lock neither unlocks or locks. because of this the door will not open. is it possible i need a actuator?|||yes.. if one side works and the other doesn%26#039;t it%26#039;s either the wires to the actuator or the actuator itself. They are both on the same circuit, so one can%26#039;t work with out the other working if it%26#039;s a fuse problem.|||If your other doors lock and unlock then the fuse will do nothing. You may need to replace the wiring on that passanger door or possiably the lock.|||it could be 1 of 3 reasons. a short. the actuator. or a bad connection.|||sounds like a motor or yes, an actuator... maybe the switch in the pass door is burned up.... if your driver side lock is working, then it is not a fuse|||Find the fuse that makes that feature work and look to see if it is blown if it is then it is probably the problem|||It would have taken less time and expense to replace the fuse than to ask the question.
GO REPLACE THE FUSE and then come back if it still doesn%26#039;t work and ask about the actuator.
