A blown house fuse may look blackened or have a broken filament inside. To identify it, check the fuse box for any fuses that appear damaged or have a visible break. You can also use a multimeter to test the continuity of the fuse to determine if it is blown.

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.

What does a 35 amp time delay fuse look like when it blows?

If you can observe the fusible link it should be open and there should be some charring on the glass. Use an Ohm meter to confirm fuse is blown. If it is zero ohms across the fuse it is not blown.


What is preventing the Dash and Taillights not to light up?

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.

If you blew a fuse in your house but the breaker does not show a blown fuse you still have no power to half your house what next?

If it is half the house, that implies the main breaker or the line coming in. Sometimes, double breakers will trip one of them and not the other. It looks like it is still on. Try flipping the breaker off and back on. If you feel comfortable doing it, open up the panel and check each breaker to see if current is getting through them. Just a two prong test light will tell you this. Start on the main, it may be that one of the lines coming in is dead. Looking at the question, you blew a fuse but the breaker does not show a blown fuse. You shouldn't have both in the same circuit. If you have screw in fuses there should be 2 large Buss fuses at the top of the panel. One of these could be blown. These have to be checked with a tester, there is no way to tell just by looking.
