What causes a 20 amp fuse to blow when starting a 1992 LeBaron that keeps overheating?

Need to know which 20 Amp fuse is blowing.


How to determine the correct fuse for your head unit if you do not know the correct amplitude of the fuse how to calculate?

You would need to know the weakest point in the power distribution and you'd need to know the peak and nominal current draw in Amperes. If it's a device that uses a surge of current at startup but only a fraction of that during normal operation, you would need a "slow-blow" fuse. If the current draw is consistent you would need a conventional fuse. Still have no idea what the "head unit" is that you're trying to fuse.


How do you fix a short on a f-350 1997 fuse?

the short wont be on the fuse you need to find out what is shorting out and causing the fuse to blow


How often do you need to change a fuse for a car?

Only when they blow. They don't wear out, they only blow when there is a short in that circuit.


What do the letters in T 6.3 A L 250V stand for?

T means Slow blow , 6.3A is the maximum current this fuse will conduct , any more and the fuse will heat up and melt the conductor . Maximum voltage capacity is 250V , this means the maximum voltage that the fuse can block from "jumping" . It means you can use it in a system from 0 - 250V with a maximum current handle of 6.3A .


When the brake lights go out is it a fuse or do you need a new bulb?

It could be either. Check the fuse first, if it is OK then you need to replace the bulb but if the fuse has blown you need to find what has caused it to blow.

Can fast blow fuse used in place of slow blow fuse?

No. A slow blow fuse is intended to survive a short overload from the startup of a piece of equipment, usually a motor or power supply. If you use a fast blow fuse in this application, it will tend to blow unexpectedly.Motors usually pull four times their rated running current on startup, but only for a very short period of time. The slow blow fuse, or slow trip circuit breaker, is designed to handle this. Similarly, power supplies need to charge the primary filter capacitor from zero voltage in one line cycle on startup. Worst case is turning on the power switch at the peak of the line cycle. Inductance of the transformer (if present) and dynamic resistance of the diode mitigates this, but there is still a larger than normal current transient. Again, the slow blow protective device allows this in the short term.Hy i'm GbRlEuEeN, i used f10a(fast) fuse to replace t5a fuse(slow) but was on audio sistem(subwoofer) and i will change back as soon il get the t5a. ( i tryed f5a first but blowed instant at power up.


1998 Mercury Mystique ECC Fuse keeps blowing?

Unplug the ECC fuse. If the fuse does not blow, then hook up the ECC. If the fuse blows then the ECC will need to be replaced.


Can you get a fuse to repair a Keurig single serve coffee maker that burned out the fuse?

In general, fuses are available from electrical and electronic parts suppliers, so the answer is probably yes. There are a number of different kinds of fuse, and specific details will have to be provided to the supplier to let them know exactly what it is that you want. Also, these suppliers don't stock fueses for specific makes or types of equipment, but rather for a give voltage and current rating. They will also have to know what specific fuse type (like glass or ceramic, fast- or slow-blow, etc.) that you need.
