Chevrolet 12191645 Fuse,Mini 2 A

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by fuses, Circuit Breakers or Fusible links The Main fuse/relay assembly is located in the engine compartment while the interior fuse/relay is in the passenger compartment. Small, medium and large fuses that are used in the fuse blocks are of the same blade terminal type; while medium and large fuses are inserted/withdrawn manually, small fuses need to be withdrawn using pliers or a small plastic fuse-puller tool. When there is a problem with the electrics on a car, the starting point must always be the fuse check, and for this there is no better tool than a test light to probe the exposed opened ends of a fuse; if power is present on one side and not the other then the fuse is blown, this can also be seen. When replacing fuses it is important that only correct types are fitted as there may be fuses of different ratings that are interchangeable in that they appear identical but only the correct rating should be used and in most applications the appropriate amperage rating will be molded into the top of the fuse case. If a replacement fuse goes out right away, then it should not be replaced, it should be figured out why it has gone out again usually due to a short in a wire. Furthermore, some circuits have fusible links, where in a circuit that is not normally fused or has a high current such as in connections between alternator and battery, they are made of a material that melts as current increases and need to be replaced by one with the same specifications; if it blows out again, it is time to investigate the circuit before placing a new link.

Protection of the electrical circuits of the vehicle is provided by fuses, circuit breakers and fusible links The fuse as well as relay boxes are found in the engine compartment, in the instrument panel and also in the trunk. Every fuse corresponds to a particular circuit, the designation of which can be found on the cover of the fuse panel; if the cover is illegible or absent, an entire list of all fuses and relays is provided in the description of the car. In essence, there are miniatures fuses in the fuse blocks and in case an electrical component has a problem in functioning, the first thing that should be checked is the fuse to see whether it has been blown or not using a test light to probe the exposed terminals on the fuse blocks; if the test light glows on one side and there is a refusal to glow on the other side the fuse is considered blown and may be visually confirmed by observing Again, due to their design, it is possible to insert a fuse of one rating into a holder while physically the holder can take a higher current fuse but this should not be done because fuses of the correct rating for each electrical circuit are meant to be different and can have the amperage value molded on their bodies. If a fusible link fails in place the first time, it should not be put back in unless the problem, which is typically a short circuit attributable to a broken or decayed wire, has been addressed. Some circuits are protected by fusible links, used in a place where the circuit is not fused or where high current is used, for instance, between the alternator and the starter motor; fusible links are set to melt if there is too much current. Whereas if a fusible link gets blown particularly when too much current is drawn to a circuit that is not capable of handling such current, the only option is to replace the link but if the replacement link also blows, then it is wise to 'debug' the circuit before fixing another link.

The electrical circuits in a vehicle are safeguarded by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links. Fuse and relay boxes can be found in the engine compartment and inside the vehicle, typically at the left end of the instrument panel. Each fuse is designed to protect a specific circuit, and the fuse panel cover identifies the various circuits. If the cover is missing or difficult to read, consult the owner's manual for a complete guide to all fuses and relays in both boxes. Miniaturized fuses are used in the fuse blocks, and if an electrical component fails, always check the fuse first. A test light can be used to check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present on one side but not the other, the fuse is blown. Replace blown fuses with the correct type, as fuses of different ratings are physically interchangeable but only fuses of the proper rating should be used. The amperage value of each fuse is molded into the fuse body. If a replacement fuse immediately fails, do not replace it again until the cause of the problem is isolated and corrected, which is often a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire.

Medium and large fuses can be removed by hand.

The main fuse/relay panel is located in the engine compartment, while the interior fuse/relay panels can be found behind the left side instrument panel end cap and the right rear corner of the trunk, depending on the year and model.

Each fuse is designed to protect a specific circuit, and various sizes-small, medium, and large-are utilized, all featuring the same blade terminal design.

When an electrical component fails, checking the fuses is essential, and a test light can help determine if a fuse is blown.

A damaged fusible link can be repaired by cutting the damaged link, stripping the insulation, twisting the exposed wire strands together, soldering the wires, and using electrical tape to cover the joint. After the repair, the negative battery cable should be connected, and the circuit should be tested for proper operation.

If an electrical component fails, checking the fuse first is essential, ideally using a test light to check for power at the exposed terminal tips.

A basic check involves pulling the circuit breaker partially from its socket and probing its terminals with a voltmeter to ensure battery voltage is present at both ends; if voltage is only at one end, replacement is needed.

There are different sizes of fuses, including small, medium, and large, all with the same blade terminal design. The medium and large fuses can be removed by hand, but the small fuses require pliers or a fuse-puller tool.

If a fuse is blown, replace it with the correct type. Fuses of different ratings are physically interchangeable, but only fuses of the proper rating should be used.

A blown fuse can be identified by inspecting the broken metal element inside the glass tube.
