🔧 Ever wondered about the role of fuses in your car? These small yet essential components play a big part in protecting your car’s electrical systems. Let’s break it down:

✅ What is a fuse?
A fuse is an electrical component designed to safeguard your car’s devices from damage caused by high electrical current. Made of a metal wire that melts when the current exceeds a set limit, it prevents overload by cutting off power to protect the car’s electrical systems.

✅ Internal vs. External Fuses

Internal Fuses: Found under the car dashboard, these handle accessories like the ignition lighter and car lighting.

External Fuses: Located near the car battery, these protect critical systems like fuel and air conditioning.

✅ How to Check a Fuse:

  1. Turn off the car and lights.
  2. Open the fuse box and inspect for damage. Replace with a fuse of identical strength and color to avoid circuit issues.

✅ Common Fuse Box Symbols and Ratings:

P/WDW-LH: Left window fuse (30A).

RR HTR: Glass heater fuse (30A).
