my understanding of the term diode fuse is a diode that fits into a circuit the same as a fuse does for ease of replacement the ones i have used are the same shape as a two prong car fuse and fit the same type holder it makes it very easy to locate broken diodes as they are located in a fuse box and can be remove without tools

Can a fuse take the place of a diode temporarily?

No - a fuse is designed as a safety device - to operate within a specific range. It performs a completely different function to a diode.

Where is pcm diode on 2001 Ford Explorer sport trac?

On a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac : The PCM diode is located in the Power Distribution Box in the engine compartment on the drivers side ( it is in location # 53 ) The PD Box is " live " Also , in the fuse panel located in the drivers end of the dash ( the fuse panel cover is visible with the drivers door open ) fuse ( # 19 is a 25 amp fuse for the PCM power diode )


What makes the AC fuse keep blowing in Chevy Astro?

A bad diode can cause the 10a fuse to blow. (it looks like a fuse that is located above and left of the AC fuse)


Why there is no current when two terminals of the diode are shorted?

There must be a break in the power supply elsewhere in the circuit. I suggest a blown fuse The only diode that generates electricity is a solar cell


Are diodes and fuses the same thing?

no. a fuse protects a circuit from overload, while a diode is a component of a circuit.

What happens with voltage and current by damaged diode...the diode is IN5408?

It depends on how the diode is damaged. There are generally two cases. One, the diode is shorted, and conducts with a low impedance in both directions. The other, the diode is open, and does not conduct, having a high impedance, in both directions. The effect depends on the particular circuit. In a power supply, a shorted diode will often blow the fuse, while an open diode will result in no output, or in high ripple voltage output. Is it possible that diode has normal voltage output but wrong current,meaning low mA?
