Does fuse brand matter?
Does fuse brand matter?
Registered. It doesn’t matter which brand you use, just be sure to use the correct style (should be ATO/ATC, very common) and the correct amperage rating.
How do automotive fuses work?
Automotive Fuses: Almost everything in a car is wired through a fuse. Fuses are designed to fail when too much current is drawn through the device. This prevents heating of the wires and subsequent melting of the insulation, followed usually by fire!
Do HID bulbs draw more power?
Xenon HID headlights use more energy at startup, but much less once they hit performance temperature. As such, HIDs use less energy overall than halogen lights.
How can I tell if my fuses are still working?
The #12 fuse location is central to the circuit, so finding out if power is present there will tell us which way to go. Here are the other circuits the fuse feeds… just in case one or two may still operate. Check a few of these other systems to see if they operate or if it’s isolated to the radio and dome lamps.
Can a fuse have power on both sides?
You can have power on both sides of the fuse, yet not have it conduct power to the circuits if there’s a spread terminal contact on the circuit side of the connection (just had one on an Intrepid).
Why is my Fuse on my Intrepid not working?
Pull that #12 fuse out to check the terminals for burning or damage. You can have power on both sides of the fuse, yet not have it conduct power to the circuits if there’s a spread terminal contact on the circuit side of the connection (just had one on an Intrepid).
Where does the pink fuse come from on my truck?
The wiring color shows to be pink from the #12 fuse on (to the load circuits). The feed from underhood comes from Fuse 1 (50 amp) but it feeds several other fuses in the JB besides #12 (1, 4 13, 14 & ckt breaker) so with all those other circuits working, we can concentrate on things inside the truck.

What should the fuse be on my hid headlight?
Fuse (s) may be blown. Be sure to check your fuses box according to your vehicle’s user manual. One option may be to upgrade the stock 10mA or 15mA headlight fuse to 30mA.  What if only one side of my HIDs turns on?
The #12 fuse location is central to the circuit, so finding out if power is present there will tell us which way to go.
