Fuse: Testing and Inspection

A blade type of fuse has test taps provided to allow checking the fuse itself without removing it from the fuse block. The fuse is good if the test lamp lights up when its one lead is connected to the test taps (one at a time) and the other lead is grounded. (Change the ignition switch position adequately so that the fuse circuit becomes operative.)







1. Be sure there is no play in the fuse holders, and that the holder hold the fuses securely.
2. Are fuse capacities for each circuit correct?
3. Are there any blown fuse?
If a fuse is to be replaced, be sure to use a new fuse of the specified capacity. Always determine why the fuse blew firs and completely eliminate the problem before installing a new fuse.

CAUTION: Never use a fuse of higher capacity than specified.
