Where is the car fuse box located?
1 Answers
Generally, there are two fuse boxes in a car. One is responsible for the safety of external electrical components, such as the ECU, windshield washer, lights, horn, ABS, etc., and is located in the engine compartment. The other is responsible for the normal operation of internal electrical components, such as the cigarette lighter, power windows, electric seats, and airbags, usually located on the left side of the steering wheel. More related details are as follows: 1. Purpose of car fuses: The official name of a fuse is "circuit breaker." The purpose of a car fuse is similar to that of a household fuse—it melts when the circuit current is abnormal and exceeds its rated current, acting as a protective barrier for the circuit. Automotive fuses can be broadly divided into two types: fast-acting fuses and slow-blow fuses. 2. Commonly used car fuses: high-current fuses and low-current fuses. The ones most commonly encountered are medium- and low-current fuses. Medium- and low-current fuses can be roughly categorized into blade-type fuses (including automatic fuse boxes and mini fuses), plug-in fuses, screw-in fuses, tubular fuse boxes, and flat-type fuses. Among these, the most commonly encountered are medium-sized ATO or small-sized fast-acting blade fuses. Blade fuses can handle small currents and short-duration pulse currents, such as those in headlight circuits or rear window defrosters.
