In automobile circuits you must go by what the manufacture installed originally. You cannot just guess. Look in your owner's manual or on the underside of the fuse block cover.

Why does my 1995 mercury villager blows 10 amp fuse?

A circuit that keeps blowing a fuse, is caused by a Short in that circuit, loose connections causing arching, overloaded circuit, or a fuse that is too small for the circuit load. Do not install a fuse bigger than the circuit was designed to handle. Someone may have install too small a fuse. Check fuse list and see if the proper fuse is installed.


How do you select fuse for motor?

There should be a label on the motor with that information. If not, have the motor checked by a qualified electrician or electronic technician to determine the proper fuse size.


Why would a taillight fuse keep blowing?

You might check the Amps size of the fuse. A lot of times, if you are using a fuse with too little Ampage, it can cause the fuse to blow. Your owner's manual should tell the proper size of fuse for that specific circuit.


Why you use cartridge fuse in control circuit of motor?

It is proper "control sense" to fuse the control circuit. It does not have to be just a cartridge fuse, in many cases it is a breaker. Depending on where the control voltage is obtained from, transformer from the incoming motor feed, separate source, or line voltage, there is always a chance that a component of the control circuit could fail, circuit protection would lessen the damage to other equipment in the control circuit. The fuse should be sized as close to the control current as possible.


How do you reset the circuit breaker on the cigarette lighter on a 63 ford falcon?

It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.


Is fuse a part of a circuit?

When there is a fuse, yes it is part of a circuit. The fuse is a cheap, replaceable circuit breaker to avoid damage to the circuit components.


Is a fuse a circuit?

a fuse is a way to secure a circuit from owerload, so a fuse is in a way a circuit in a circuit that owerload itself and breake the circuit inside itself to not damege the rest of the circuit. OR some thing conected to that sircuit.

What device protects an electrical circuit?

An example of a circuit protection device is a fuse. Another example is a circuit breaker.


What is the purpose for a fuse or a circuit breaker what would happen without them?

Purpose of Fuses [and Circuit Breakers]Fuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuit and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating of the conductors, that can result in damage to the conductors, and in worse case scenario the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle.When a fuse, and its replacement, "blows," is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit.Some ingnorant few people will suggest installing a larger fuse to correct the blowing problem. To install a larger fuse would invite damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire.The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she's doing, to:troubleshoot the circuit,find and identify the defect, andmake proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse for the circuit].
