Where is the Chery brake light fuse located?
2 Answers
Chery brake light fuse is located in the interior dashboard fuse box, position 16 F1610A. The function of car fuses: The role of a fuse is to protect the circuit by cutting off the current when it rises abnormally due to circuit faults or abnormalities, which could potentially damage important or expensive components, burn out the circuit, or even cause a fire. If a fuse is correctly installed in the circuit, it will melt and break the current when the current rises to a certain level and duration, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the circuit. Precautions for replacing car fuses: Always replace the fuse with one of the same rated current as specified on the fuse box cover. Do not use a fuse with a higher rated current; if the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates a possible fault in the circuit system, which should be inspected and repaired as soon as possible; in the absence of a spare fuse, you can temporarily replace it with a fuse from another device that does not affect driving and safety in an emergency; if a fuse with the same current load cannot be found, you can use one with a lower rated current than the original fuse.
I've been driving a Chery for over a decade and know all about brake light fuses. They're mostly located in the interior fuse box, typically found under the dashboard. Just crouch down near the driver's left leg and you'll spot a small cover or panel. Pry it open, and you'll see a row of small square fuses inside. The manual usually has diagrams labeling them, with specifications like 10A or 15A corresponding to the brake light circuit. Frequent fuse blowouts are most commonly caused by short-circuited bulbs or aging wiring. When brake lights flicker or fail, it seriously affects following drivers' distance judgment, posing major safety risks. For cars over 5 years old, I recommend regularly checking under that cover and keeping spare fuses in the car for emergencies. Don't cut corners by jury-rigging wires – you could damage the circuit board. If you can't locate it, just take it to a shop and let a mechanic test with a multimeter. Have a quick look during routine maintenance too, so you won't have to worry when driving at night.
