It is not be fused. Mercedes barely uses fuses as is. Everything is relays. Cant have a burned fuse killing you.
A fuse is used for protection. If you replace it with a nail, you give up the protection. If the fuse blew, there was a reason, and the fuse protected you from the results of what would have happened if it had not blown, like such minor inconveniences as your TV set getting blasted beyond repair, or your house burning down.

NO!!!! The fuse is your safety device. Never replace a smaller fuse with a larger fuse.Another answerPeople who have done that in the past have burned down their homes. Changing from a 20 amp to 30 amp fuse puts 50% more current through the wire, overheats the wire and can result in fire. Don't do it. As the above post explains, the fuse is your safety device.To Ad:The above answers are dead on. Remember the fuse protects the wiring from overheating and catching on fire. A 20 amp fuse is used on 12 gage wire and a 30 amp fuse is used on 10 gage wire which is must larger. Never mix them up.To Ad: actually if you people wouldve took some kind of electical class its better to put a bigger fuse.. you just do not need to double the size.. if you got a 20 put a 30 in it it want blow.. if you put a 40 then you will have problems...
happenred to me today blowing fuses opened my wiper motor found a small burned spot under the black coverit was burned havent fixed it probably an internal part of the motor shorted guess im gonna take that apart or buy a used one
There is a fuse insertion site and a power button, but no fuse button. The fuse insertion site looks vaguely like a button, but is actually a cap to cover the fuse. Unscrew this cap to replace the fuse. The power button is used to turn on the microscope.
i had the same problem recently, and i came to this website and found out that there is a fuse panel box underneath the drivers side where fuses are located and used a 7.5 amp fuse and it did the trick for me.
a 6.3 amp 125 volt fuse a 6.3 amp 250 volt or 300 volt is fine with similar time delays depending on application it may be easier to find a 10A it should still protect most of the components
Aux Power Outlet fuses can blow due to a system short (not likely), a metalic object getting into the outlet and shorting the terminals together (which is why most manufactures provide a tethered cap) or a device being used which exceeds the Amp rating of the fuse (typically 20A). Such devices include power inverters that convert 12v DC to 115V AC typically used in conjunction with an entertainment appliance such as a game boy or other device. If the power outlet stops working, the fuse has blown. It is very easy to replace. Check your manual to find out where the fuse is located. Most likely it will be in the dashboard fuse center or the under hood fuse center both of which are easy to locate and open. Find the fuse for the Aux Power Outlet, pull it out and replace with the same size fuse. Most manufactures include spares which your manual should identify for you. If not, you can get them at an auto parts store or automotive section of bigger retail outlets like target, Meier, kmart, etc... Pop in the new fuse, replace the fuse box cover and you should be good to go! If you don't have a manual, located the fuse box(s) and look at the label under the cover. It will map and describe each of the fuses in the fuse box. Find and replace that way. Worst case pull each fuse one by one looking for the blown fuse and replace that one. The fuse is typically located in an easily accessible fuse center under hood or oureasy to replace. and since it was probably your fault, don't take it to a dealership.
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
There are various sizes and ratings used. Replace with what you take out.
It is not recommended. The design of the equipment called for the 315ma fuse. To up size it to a larger fuse is taking the equipment out of its manufactured specification. Fuses are used to protect circuits. If you install an oversized fuse you override the designed in protection.
