It go out.
An open switch in a circuit will stop all current flow so the ammeter should read zero amps.
Voltage
It is true that a switch is used to open and close a circut.
A circuit will not work if a switch is open, be because it is not allowing the electricity to flow. Where as if it was closed it would give the electricity a sealed off path to flow through.
the fuse panel on my 98 is on the left end of the dash. open the door to see it. my brake lights stopped working but did not blow the fuse. had to change the brake switch located on the brake pedal. good luck
The time it takes for a fuse to blow, either "fast blow" or "slow blow" is determined by the design of the fuse and is described in a table or graph provided by the manufacturer. In general, the higher the applied overload current, the faster the fuse will blow. Fast blow fuses can open in milliseconds, slow blow fuses can open in several seconds. The fuse used depends entirely on the application and what kind of circuit it is protecting.
sometimes just extended use will cause the fuse to blow, but you might check your ground wires or just see if there is an open or pinched wire that may be rubbing your chassis or touching another wire..-Shocker
Check the switch to see if anything is stuck in it. If the switch is otherwise fine, it is a problem with the electrical system. Open the fuse box and locate the fuse for the tailgate switch. Replace the fuse and try again.
the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.
The full circuit voltage
A: THYRISTOR can be used to clamp damaging energy as opposed to a fuse that must blow open and invariably takes time to blow. A thyristor is much faster and controllable actually if the problem disappear it can be made to open up again and restore power for normal operation.
Its probably a fuse, there are 2 fuse boxes. one is under the hood on the drivers side towards the rear, and the other if inside, once you open the drivers door on the left side of the dash, (only visible with drivers door open) I have seen a horn go back and blow the fuse, so make sure to check amp flow before replacing the fuse.
Blown fuse? Bad Relay? Open wire?
Lilly, If you open the drivers door, look at the end of the dash on the left, you will see a little compartment with a door that you can pull off. The relay/fuse is in there.
To the left of the OPEN glove box
When there is no supply voltage or a switch is open or a fuse has blown to name a few.
