What do the English abbreviations on car fuses mean?
2 Answers
Car fuse abbreviations include ENG and HORN, and the English translation for a car fuse box is AUTO-FUSE-HOLDER. Details are as follows: ENG Engine: The car engine, translated into English as automobile-engine, with the abbreviation ENG. The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle. It determines the car's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. HORN Horn: The car horn, translated into English as Car-horn, with the abbreviation HORN. The horn is the car's sound signaling device. During driving, the driver uses it to emit necessary sound signals as required or regulated, warning pedestrians and drawing the attention of other vehicles to ensure traffic safety. It is also used for passing and signaling. Precautions for using car fuses: Replace fuses according to the rated current value indicated on the fuse box cover, and do not use fuses with a higher current rating than specified. If a new fuse blows immediately, it indicates that there may be a fault in the circuit system, and it should be repaired as soon as possible. In the absence of a spare fuse, in an emergency, you can replace it with a fuse from another device that does not affect driving and safety.
As a car enthusiast, I've spent considerable time studying these fuse abbreviations. For instance, ACC stands for Accessory, referring to devices like the cigarette lighter; IGN is for Ignition, pointing to the ignition system; BAT means Battery, indicating the main power source; HEAD refers to the headlights; TAIL is for the tail lights. Understanding these helps in self-diagnosing issues, such as checking the RADIO fuse when the radio goes silent. I always refer to the vehicle manual for its diagrams, which also list abbreviations like DEFOG for the rear defogger and WIPER for the wipers. Regularly reviewing these abbreviations can prevent circuit damage. Keeping spare fuses with matching amperage in the car ensures safe replacements. Never confuse abbreviations and tamper randomly, as it could damage components—a valuable lesson I've learned from numerous repairs, saving me money and hassle while keeping my beloved car running smoothly.
