First you gotta find 'em.

There seems to be trend with modern autos to hide the fuses in strange and unexpected places, Often you have one box in the cabin and one in the engine compartment. Consult your owners guide or applicable Chilton's reference to find the location. The fuse puller may or may not be easily locatable. There may be a fuse puller in one, but not both, of these locations.

Having found the fuse box you will usually find the description of each fuse on the cover.

There is usually a fuse puller inside the car's fuse box. Take the fuse puller and use it to remove the burned out fuse. Get an identically rated fuse and insert it in the place in the fuse box that you just removed the fuse from.

Note: if the new fuse also burns out there is a more serious problem that must be corrected before replacing the fuse again. Never install a fuse with a higher amperage rating than the original!

How do you replace the wire on an old fashioned fuse?

You do not replace the wire - you replace the fuse as a whole unit. Never try to "get by" with anything but the correct fuse - it is asking for a fire if you don't. If you have the old style which have screw on caps, you remove the caps and replace the fuse with the exact fuse material that is identical to the one that burned. Reinstall the caps tight and re-insert the fuse. These types of fuses are becoming obsolete and can be hard to find the fuse material for them. You can replace the fuse with a newer fuse rated for the same amperage as the old one. Note, however, that this type of fuse is higher amperage - 30 amps or above. The type of fuse described at the beginning of this answer - the old "screw in" type - is not fixable - it must be replaced outright

Yes. Look at your fuse panel, located under the dash or behind the driver's kick panel. On the back of the cover is a diagram showing you which fuses control what. Find the one that says "taillight" and check to see if it's burned out. Find the one that says "headlight" and check it to make sure it's not burned out. Change the burned out fuse. Replace fusebox cover.
