Fuse Inspection

  1. Make sure there are no loose fuse holders and that the fuses are securely installed.
  2. Is the fuse rating correct for each circuit?
  3. Are any fuses blown? If a fuse must be replaced, be sure to use a new fuse of the same rating. Always determine the cause of a blown fuse and correct the problem before installing a new fuse.
