Car Fuses Question and Answer - This category contains featured questions
as examples. They relate to most vehicles.
Question: 1999 Chevrolet Silverado mileage: 114,000. The fuse that powers the
horn, dash lights, and my taillights keeps popping. What should I do?Answer:
Normally a fuse will fail because there is a short circuit that supplies 12-volts
to the system. Check each of the components that are powered by that fuse. We suggest
checking the taillights first, especially if you have wiring for a trailer.
Question: 1999 Dodge Durango, miles: 89,000 I am looking for some one
that may have a clue where the fuse box numbers and what they are for. I have a
blown fuse that control my electric locks and my dash lights and also my lighter
and radio. Other then pulling out all the fuses one by one It would be easier the
know what fuses are what.
Answer: Rather than pull out each fuse, while the key is on,
use a test light to test both sides of each fuse. This is the most reliable method
because it tests under load. Its sound like you have a power door lock actuator
that is shorted.
Question: 2001 Pontiac Firebird. When you turn on the headlights
or park lights the 15-amp fuse marked tail in the fuse box will blow. This
fuse has nothing to do with the headlights it is the fuse for the dome light and
dash lights etc. once the fuse is blown or you remove the fuse from the circuit.
There will be no problem with the headlights and if the headlights are turned off,
you will be able to replace the fuse and the dome lights and dash lights will work
fine until you turn on headlights thanks, Boyd
Answer: It seems you have a bad ground connection. Check the various
lights connected to that circuit.
Question: 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis mileage: 95,000. The hazard
flasher and directional signal stop working. My owners guide tells me it is in the
fuse box under the dashboard, but it is not. Could you tell me where it is located?
Answer: Both components are on the passenger compartment fuse block located
behind the left side of the dash. It is tucked up under the dash so that it will
not be kicked.
Question: 2001 Chevy, Lumina APV mileage: 85,000. My blinkers are not
working wanted to check for blown fuse. Where are fuses at on this car?
Answer: The fuses are located on the right side of the dash in the glove
compartment.
Question: 2002 Lincoln Towncar, mileage: 56,000. The blower motor keeps
blowing a fuse after a few minutes of running. In addition, some kind of fog comes
out of the vents when driving even though the system is not on. Can I repair this
myself?
Answer: The blower motor problem may be something as simple
as to small an amp fuse or the blower motor is shorting out and the motor needing
replacement. The fog coming out of the vents is probably the result of a small coolant
leak in the heater core.
