Why You Shouldn't Use the Wrong Fuse Amperage On Your Car!!!!
Fuses are like the bodyguards of your car's electrical system . They're there to protect it from overloads and short circuits. But using the wrong fuse amperage can lead to serious trouble:
⏩ Using a Higher Amperage Fuse:
🔹Allows too much current to flow
🔹Can damage wires, sensors, or even start a car fire
🔹The circuit is no longer properly protected!
⏩ Using a Lower Amperage Fuse:
🔹Blows too easily, even under normal load
🔹Causes annoying malfunctions and frequent replacements
🔹Makes the circuit unreliable and unstable
⏩ How to Detect a Bad Fuse!!!
Here’s how to check if a fuse has blown:
✅ Step 1: Visual Inspection
▶️Remove the fuse from the fuse box.
▶️Look at the metal strip inside:
▶️ If it's burned or broken, the fuse is bad.
✅ Step 2: Use a Multimeter
▶️Set the multimeter to continuity mode .
▶️Touch the probes to both ends of the fuse:
▶️Beep or low reading = Good fuse
▶️No sound or no continuity = Blown fuse
Always replace a blown fuse with the same amperage rating (e.g., replace a 15A fuse with another 15A)
Stay safe and protect your car’s electrical system the right way!!!
