When the switch is left open, the circuit is incomplete, and no current flows through the fuse. Without current flowing through the fuse, there is no excessive heat generated to cause it to blow. The fuse only blows when there is an overload or short circuit in the circuit that causes excessive current to flow through it.

How does the interior light work?
The interior light in a car usually turns on when you open the door or manually switch it on. It is typically powered by the car's electrical system and is controlled by a switch or sensor. If the light isn't working, it may be due to a blown fuse, faulty bulb, or a problem with the wiring.
What quantity does the voltmeter measure when the switch is open?
When the switch is open, the voltmeter measures the potential difference or voltage across the two points connected by the switch, as no current flows through the circuit. This measured voltage is often referred to as the open-circuit voltage.
What does the reading on a ammeter say when the switch is open?
An open switch in a circuit will stop all current flow so the ammeter should read zero amps.
If a switch is said to be open will a curcuit work?
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.
What is the continuity reading on a pressure switch in a power vent water heater marked normally open and -1.07PF when the blower is off?
If the pressure switch is marked as normally open, there should be continuity (zero resistance) through the switch when the blower is off. The reading of -1.07PF signifies the pressure setting at which the switch should close to allow the blower to turn on.
Where is the fuse block for the brakes on your 1993 ford ranger brake lights do not work?
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
How many second it takes the fast blow fuse to blow?
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.
1998 jeep Cherokee blown 30 amp Maxi fuse for the starter Turned the ignition switch nothing replaced the 30 amp fuse and all works well why did the fuse blow short somehere?
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
Rear tailgate switch on Chrysler voyager 2001 does not work?
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.
What happens if you overload plug sockets?
the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.
What voltage is measured across an open fuse or switch?
The full circuit voltage
What is the difference between thyristor fuse and normal fuse?
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.
Horn stopped working on 2001 MB C240 is it a fuse and where is the fuse box located?
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.
Why is there no power to blower motor switch?
Blown fuse? Bad Relay? Open wire?
Where is the fuse box for Peugeot 307?
To the left of the OPEN glove box
Need to locate the fuse box and the relay switch for the power windows on a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire Lilly?
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.
When do circuits not light up?
When there is no supply voltage or a switch is open or a fuse has blown to name a few.
