How To Repair/Check Fuses


There are two ways to check fuses. The first is the good old fashion way of removing each fuse and visually inspecting each fuse. It's time consuming but effective. And the other way that is much faster and easier, but you need a "test light" before you can begin. Turn the key to the "on" position (do not start), ground your test light lead to a good ground source, like a metal brace under the dash, seat mount bolt or under hood brace. Then lightly touch the service port at the top of the fuse on both sides. If the test light illuminates on both sides of the fuse, the fuse is ok and working properly. If the fuse lights the test light on one side it is blown and needs to be replaced.
