No, if a fuse were to overheat it would blow. A shorted circuit can cause a fuse to blow.

Yes. If the fuse for the electric cooling fan should blow, then the fan will not turn on and remove heat from the radiator at low speeds. At higher speeds, there will be enough air movement to cool the radiator.

Also if your experiencing problems with your car overheating you should look into other causes, such as making sure your anti freeze reservoir is full

What is the problem in using a strip of metal or any other piece of wire in place of a fuse?

The fuse is made to blow at a set amperage to protect the wire from overheating. Using anything but the fuse may cause the circuit to work but could most certainly cause the wiring to overheat and burn if it is overloaded.


A fuse is a device used to keep electrical circuits from overheating?

A fuse is a device used to keep electrical circuits from overheating is not a true statement. A fuse is used to protect the wire of the circuit from an over current being applied to the circuit. This over current could be caused by a couple of scenarios. Two non insulated conductors touching one another and creating a short circuit. Another cause could be an non insulated conductor touching adjacent grounded equipment. Whatever the cause the fuse will isolate the fault instantaneously.
