Car Fuses and Fuse Holders

!±8± Car Fuses and Fuse Holders

In most electronics in the vehicles that we drive today has fuses of some size. There are fuses that are in the fuse panel that can either take a glass fuses or blade fuses. These can range from .5 amps up to 30 amps. These run all the electronics in the cars panel like the lights in the dash and things like that. The problem comes from when you have to figure out which one is blown. The easiest way to do this is with a test light. This will tell you which one is blown with out having to take out every one of them. There are certain cars that take different fuses like the European cars but those fuses are not very popular.

Then there are other types of fuses that are used by people that install car audio. In this profession they use one of three different types of fuses and fuse holders. There is the ANL fuses and the ANL fuse holders. These look like big Blade fuses. You can find them from the size of 100 amps to 300 amps for car amplifiers. They are used to keep things from overloading and catching the car on fire.

If a fuse blows then you will have to get it checked out. Do not just replace with a bigger fuse. This will be a bad thing to do since it can cause a fire or burn up the electronics in your car. Also there are the AGU fuses that range in sizes from 30 amps to 80 amps. These are popular for some of the small to medium systems. They look like a big glass fuse and they have there own types of fuse holders also. The last type of fuses they use are the Maxi fuses. These are also available in sizes of 30-80 amps.

So as you can see there are a lot of different types and sizes of fuses and fuse holders.

What Are Some Different Types of Fuses?

!±8± What Are Some Different Types of Fuses?

These are magic little pieces of either glass or plastic. No they are not really magic but they do protect your electronics in the car. The way it does this is by it blowing and not causing any damage to the cars electronics. You can find them in a fuse box in the car. Those could be either in the dash or under the hood of the car.

This will also depend on what kind of car that you have. There are different kinds of fuses for the cars depending on the where the car was made. Most cars have either Glass fuses or they maybe Blade fuses. Glass fuses are small in size and are not as popular in today's cars but the older ones did have them. They are glass and on the ends have metal tips. The good thing about these fuses were that when they blew you could easily tell it. Most of the time in the cars now a days the only place you will find them are either on the wire to the cigarette lighter or on the back of some of the older radios.

The blade fuses are more popular in the newer cars. These are not as easy to tell when they are blown but are easier and smaller to use. No more breaking when you go to change them. But along with the good you have the bad that being how can you tell if it is blown. The easiest way will be to use a test light and check each one or if they are not marked then you have to pull each one till you find the correct one.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you replace the fuse with the correct size and type. Just because the fuses are the same in length and width. Does not mean they are the same in the amps that they are capable of handling. This is the most important thing to remember when dealing with fuses.
