A blown fuse in a house can look like a blackened or charred spot on the fuse itself. It can also appear melted or broken. To identify a blown fuse, you can visually inspect the fuse for any signs of damage or use a multimeter to test for continuity.

How do you tell if fuse is blown on radio?

If your radio will not turn on at all then it is probably the fuse. Some speakers also have fuses too, if it wasn't a fuse then the speakers would probably sound torn. To check the fuse it depends on your car, look in the manual on how to change the specific fuse. Many modern cars have fuse boxes under the glove box on either the passenger or driver side. The fuse should look somewhat like a flat, transparent house plug, in the middle of the transparent plastic there is normally a connected wire and if it is broken the fuse is blown. If you have a fuse box you can compare with another good fuse or just look up an image of blown auto fuse.


Why not replace a fuse with a steel nail?

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.

It is likely that there is a blown fuse. Open the fuse panel as per your instruction manual. On the fuse itself, you will see what looks like a tiny metal band. If that band is not connected (i.e. the fuse is blown) it will need to be replaced.Otherwise it could be a short circuit somewhere.

How do you tell if your tail light fuse is blown?

Well, honey, if your tail light ain't shining bright, it's probably time to check that fuse. Get your hands dirty and pop open that fuse box to see if the tail light fuse is busted - it's usually pretty obvious with a little visual inspection. And if you're not sure what you're doing, call a mechanic before you end up driving around looking like a shady character with a busted tail light.
