The side view of a fuse 4. Replace the fuse with one that has the right amperage rating (see previous chart). RWARNING Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire damage and could start a fire. 5. Put the fuse panel cover back on. Even after you replace a fuse, it will continue to blow if you do not find what caused the overload. If the fuse continues to blow, have your electrical system checked. Circuit Breakers If you need to check a circuit breaker on the fuse panel, see Checking and replacing fuses to find out how to locate the fuse panel. Otherwise, locate the circuit breaker according to the instructions on the charts given earlier in this chapter. Since you need diagnostic equipment to check whether a circuit breaker works and such equipment comes with instructions, we do not discuss how to check circuit breakers. 364
