Common questions

Can a fuse go in either way?

Can a fuse go in either way?

Fuses can be used either way around, there is no difference between the ends. Except after it has blown, then you can put a multi-meter across the fuse and the end that is being supplied with power will be positive (hot) while the other end will be zero volts (cold).

Do fuses only go in one way?

Fuses don’t require current to flow through them in a certain direction so either way is fine. But typically line is the side that the power comes in on and load is the power going out.

Where are the fuses in the under hood?

Check each of the large fuses in the under-hood fuse box by looking through the top at the wire inside. Removing these fuses requires a Phillips-head screwdriver. Check the smaller fuses in the under-hood fuse box and all the fuses in the interior fuse boxes by pulling out each fuse with the fuse puller.

What to do if your fuse box blows?

Check those fuses first, but check all the fuses before deciding that a blown fuse is the cause. Replace any blown fuses, and check if the device works. Check each of the large fuses in the under-hood fuse box by looking through the top at the wire inside. Removing these fuses requires a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Where is the fuse box in the engine?

How do you check the resistance of a fuse?

If you already pulled the fuse out, but it’s not clear if it’s blown or not, you can check its resistance. The resistance is opposite of the current flow. The lower the resistance, the higher the current flow. The resistance is measured in Ohms or Ω. A conductor, like a cooper or aluminum wire has very low resistance (close to 0 Ω).
