go to your fuse box and take out the fuse if you dont have a tool it might give you hell but make sure you know what your doing do you dont mess it up the insert new fuse
There are a couple of phillips screws on either side of the 80 amp fuse leading to the engine fuse box. :)
it is the 4998 engine code of 240 amp of the engine code:fgh46357fjg so the kind of fuse of 80 amp fuse is, 160 amp fuse. So you can multiply that and, 480 amps. There you go.
No, this is not monitored.
The black fuse cover comes off but the fuse is one piece and pulls out. Its just tight.
The main fuse is in the engine bay fuse box located near the battery. It is the largest rated fuse, usually 60 amp or 80 amp.
Turn off the ignition. Remove the small bolts at the terminals with a socket wrench to allow the fuse to be removed. Replace and put bolts back on.
If you do that the likelihood is that you will blow the 3A fuse quickly. There is a reason why the current fuse is what it is, because it is expecting currents around 80% of 13 A or around 10 A.
80 amp
The underhood fuse box. its either an 80 amp or 100 amp fues
look in your fuse bos under the hood and you have to take the bos apart so you can get to the little bolts that hold the fuse in
If there were fuse links on the car, there would not be just one, there would be several, but the Contour doesn't use any "fuse links." It uses fuse link cartriges. These are large fuses in the engine compartment fuse box that have clear windows on top. To replace the lower amp fuse cartridges, simply pull them out. The high ampere fuse cartridges(80 amps and above) are held in with screws on each blade terminal.
Depends on how the fuse was blown in the first place. Maybe a short? But usually, no. Unless it is the main battery fuse, 80 AMP or higher, I wouldn't worry about it. If the fuse is screwed down, I would remove the batter cables just to be sure you do not accidentially arc a screwdriver. But otherwise, if it is a smiple 20 Amp fuse in the fuse block, go ahead and change it without removing the battery cable. If it blows as soon as you insert a new fuse, or activate what it was you were using, I.e. cigarette lighter, figure out what is causing the fuse to blow. Just make sure the key is off is the safe bet. Under no circumstances should you ever use a higher rated fuse than called for. It has the potential to melt wires and start a fire. I.e. Don't use a 30 Amp fuse in place of a 7 Amp if the 7 Amp keeps blowing.
