GM 88861352 Fuse,Mini 20 A

Power circuits of a vehicle are protected by fuses, circuit breakers, snow chains or fusible links; the main fuse/relay panel of a vehicle is situated in the engine compartment; the interior fuse/relay panel can be under instrument panel, the rear seats, or inside a trunk near battery. It will be seen that both types of fuses are alike in that they have an associated small blade terminal which is of medium and large fuses are easily withdrawable by hand while the fuses of the smaller type require the use of pliers or a plastic 'fuse-puller'. If an electrical component is faulty, then to ascertain whether the problem is with the fuse, one has to use the test light to check for power at the terminal ends; if power is present at one end but not at the other end, then the fuse is fused or one can physically see whether the element is fused, particularly if it is made of metal and has melted. In particular, it is necessary to put the new fuses of the correct type of a certain rate into the circuit since the usage of other fuses can cause improper protection of the circuit. In case a replaced fuse blows off immediately, the problem that led to a fault should be rooted and may, in most circumstances, be a short circuit as an indication of worsening wiring. In the same way, some circuits have fusible links to protect them from high current and these elements are themselves conductors used where high currents are present and which melt when the current is too high. In case a fusible link is blown, it should be replaced with one of similar specification; if it blows once again there is a problem with the circuit and new link should not be used.

Electrical circuits are protected by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. Models covered have a fuse/relay panel in the engine compartment, as well as an electrical center or fuse/relay panel under the rear seat or in the trunk. A large underhood fuse/relay panel is located in the engine compartment on all models. Most models have a fuse block or an electrical center like this mounted under the rear seat or in the trunk. Each of the fuses is designed to protect a specific circuit, and the various circuits are identified on the fuse panel cover or the fuse panel itself. Miniaturized fuses are employed in the fuse block. These compact fuses, with blade terminal design, allow fingertip removal and replacement. If an electrical component fails, always check the fuse first. The easiest way to check fuses is with a test light. Check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present on one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. When removed, a blown fuse is easily identified through the clear plastic body. Visually inspect the element for evidence of damage. When a fuse blows, the element between the terminals melts. Be sure to replace blown fuses with the correct type. Fuses of different ratings are physically interchangeable, but only fuses of the proper rating should be used. Replacing a fuse with one of a higher or lower value than specified is not recommended. Each electrical circuit needs a specific amount of protection. The amperage value of each fuse is molded into the fuse body. If the replacement fuse immediately fails, don't replace it again until the cause of the problem is isolated and corrected. In most cases, the cause will be a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire.

All the electrical circuits in the vehicle are protected by fuses, circuit breakers and fusible links, the main fuse/relay panel is in the engine compartment, while the second one is in the passenger compartment. Every fuse serves a particular circuit that is marked on the lid of the fuse panel, and the interior circuits have their fuses in the boxes which can be accessed by opening the correct door and then lifting off the lid of the fuse box panel. In the fuse blocks, fuses of different sizes-small, medium, and large-are installed, and all of them have the same blade terminal configuration; whereas medium and large fuses can be pulled out manually, small fuses have to be extracted using pliers or a small plastic fuse-puller. When an electrical component is not working as it should, the first thing to consider is the fuse, using the test light to see power at the ends of exposed terminals; if there is power at one end of the fuse and not at the other, then the fuse is blown and this can also be seen by the melted element between the terminal tips of the fuse. They should be replaced with correct type because, although physically similar, only the correct rating should be pressed into functioning as sufficient protector for every electrical circuit, having the amperage rating molded in the top of the fuse's body. In these models, the large high amperage fuses are used instead of fusible links and they are placed in the underhood fuse/relay box.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links; with the main fuse/relay board in the engine compartment, the interior fuse/relay cases are located behind the left end of the instrument panel and at the right rear corner of the trunk according to the year and model. Small fuses are used in the electrical circuit while medium and large fuses are used in the fuse block, but the all have blade terminal designs; while the medium and large fuses are easily slid out of their positions, small fuses need one to use pliers or a plastic fuse-puller tool. In the case when an electrical component is dead, the check of fuse is a first step; the best way to check whether there is power at the exposed terminal lips of every fuse-use a test light: if there's power at one end but not at the other-the fuse is blown, and, in addition, it may be observed that the element between the terminals is melted. Fuses which have blown should be replaced by the right type as other fuses can appear physically different but should not be used as they will only offer the wrong amount of protection to the electrical circuits, and the amperage value is usually printed on the top part of the fuse body. If a replacement fuse fails immediately, it should not be replaced again until the root problem; whereby usually a short circuit resulting from a damaged or degraded wire is fixed. Also, there are some circuits which are protected by fusible links and these will be in circuits that are not fused or in high current circuits such as the link between alternator and battery; these are made to melt if subjected to high currents and has to be replaced by one of the same rating; more often they will blow again before requiring it to be replaced.

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.

The protection of the electrical circuit is provided by fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links Most of the fuses and relays are mounted in the engine compartment on the main fuse/relay panel while others are located inside the passenger compartment on the interior fuse/relay panel. Every fuse is designed to guard a unique circuit; nevertheless, various sizes including small, medium, and large are usually used, but the blade terminal is constant. Whereas medium and large fuses can be pulled out physically, small fuses have to be pulled out a tool like a pair of plier or a plastic fuse pulling tool. Whenever you have an electrical component that is not working, the fuse should be checked by using a test light on the terminal tips; if one side has power only the fuse is blown and this is easily determined since the element between the terminals is melted. Blown fuses should be replaced with the right types and should not be replaced with fuses of different ratings even if they are physically compatible with the slot; every circuit needs a certain measure of protection provided by the amperage value inscribed on the neck of the fuse. A new fuse that blinks should then not be replaced again until the real problem that commonly is a short circuit as a result of faulty wiring is fixed. Also used are large, high amperage fuses utilized in the place of fusible links which are located in the under-hood fuse/relay block.

Fuselage electrical circuits are protected by fuses and circuit breakers and each fuse as required protects a particular circuit. The position of each fuse and the circuit it relates to is shown on the underside of the cover of a fuse box. Located on the left side of the car's engine compartment is the engine compartment fuse and relay box; to get at this, the small trim cover has to be removed and the latches for the box released. Under the left kick panel on the floor board is the fuse box for the passenger compartment,Spare fuses and fuse puller as well as a directory of circuits fused by the particular fuse can be found on the backside of the cover. The relay center is under the instrument panel and at the side of the steering column to remove the left side knee bolster and the mounting bolts to access the relays. The fuse blocks also contain what are known as "mini" and "maxi" fuses, where maxi fuses can be hand-removed and mini fuses require the use of pliers or a small plastic fuse-puller. One should consider it when an electrical component fails: to check fuses, and to use the test light in order to find out whether a substitute fuse is faulty. Such fusible links require replacement with new ones of the right sort, as usage of other ratings will only result in new problems. If one gets burnt out quickly, the main problem-which may be a short circuit caused by spoilt wiring has to be solved before the fuse should be replaced again. Further, between the battery and the alternator circuit is a fusible link that melts in case of excessive current. Before replacing a fusible link, the negative battery terminal must be disconnected and the reason for the overload seen before putting in a new link.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by fuses, circuit breakers as well as fusible links, fuse and relay boxes are positioned in the engine compartment and right under the instrument panel. The function of each fuse is to protect a certain circuit, and the labels are on the cover of the fuse panel; if the label is illegible or is missing, there is a separate list of all fuses and relays in the owner's manual. Small fuses are installed in the fuse blocks; if the electrical component is not working, one must first check the fuse block, preferably with a test light on the exposed terminal ends; one side may have power while the other does not, in which case the fuse is blown, and this can be further confirmed by physical examination. Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of similar type, because while physically interchangeable fuses of different ratings should be appropriate for circuits with the indicated rating, the amperage value should be molded into the surface of the fuse body. If a replacement fuse goes bad as soon as it is inserted it should not be replaced again until the cause usually short circuit by a snapped or worn out wire is fixed. Some circuits are protected by fusible links used in the circuits that are not fused or the circuits carrying high current as in the circuits between an alternator and starter motor; the fusible links melts once damaged by excessive current. If a fusible link has been replaced by another because of being blown, then it is important to use another of the same specification, or if the same link is blown again in the future, troubleshooting around the circuit must be done before putting in another link.

With reference to the protection of electrical circuits, fuses, circuit breakers and fusible links are used on the vehicle, whereby fuse blocks can be found at the side of the shift console and near the battery in the compartment. The fuses are individual for each circuit they protect, and the identification is available on the cover of the fuse panel. To change any of the miniaturized fuses, so packaged with a blade terminal, removing and replacement are relatively easy; when an electrical component is suspect, the fuse must be checked, commonly with a test light to confirm power at the terminal tips. A blown fuse may be recognized if power is bright on one side while there is darkness on the side; one can tell by eyesight that the element in between the terminals is glowing or missing when it has been blown. One must also ensure that the broken fuses are replaced with fuses of the correct capacity because despite being physically interchangeable it is dangerous to do so because of the fact that the circuits require distinct levels of protection. If, however, a new fuse blows quickly, the real problem, most of the time a short circuit from a wire that has been damaged should be sought before more replacements. Also, some circuits contain fusible links, often in places where high currents are required, for example, in charging or starting circuits. These links can be conventional in line links which is easily recognizable by a bump in the middle of the link or the more recent cartridge type located in the engine compartment fuse and relay box; although they look like fuses, they are linked and may be substituted with similar amperage after the negative battery link has been loosened.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle is protected with fuses, circuit breakers and fusible links with the fuse blocks located in the engine compartment and under the instrument panel. Located on the left side is the engine compartment fuse/relay box where all fuses and relays are labeled according to position and function on the surface of the box which is on the underside of the cover. In the vehicle interior there are two further fuse/relay boxes mounted in the left and right side of the kick board. Every fuse corresponds to a particular circuit and is labeled on the fuse panel cover; if one cannot read the cover or the cover is even absent, then there is a detailed list of fuses and relays in the car manual. Available in minute sizes and with a blade terminal, fuses are easily inserted and removed: when an electrical component does not work, it is advisable to check the fuse first. It is equally possible to use a test light to see whether power is present at the end of each exposed terminal of the fuses; if power is present on one side of a fuse and not the other, then the fuse is blown, which can also be visually determined. Blown fuses should be replaced with the correct type of fuses as fuses of different ratings are physically interchangeable but should be of correct ratings as specified for each electrical circuit to achieve correct protection. If the replacement fuse blows shortly then it is advisable to check for the cause of the problem and do the necessary fix, in most cases, it may be due to short circuit because of bad wire connection. Fusible links are applied in some circuits; they are used in high current circuits and are intended to melt in case of current overloading. Whenever one wants to replace a blown fusible link, one needs to replace it with one that is of the same specification as the one that was blown, which if it blows again one has to diagnose the circuit in question before introducing another link.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are safeguarded with fuses, circuit breakers as well as fusible links. In some of the earlier models, the passenger compartment fuse block can be found on the right side of the dashboard in a compartment under the instrument panel that can be accessed after removing the glove box insert. As for the later versions, the internal fuse/relay blocks are located even better: they are in a plastic lid at the right side of the dashboard, and you can get an access thereto by opening the right front door. The interior fuse panel however for later models of the Grand Prix can be located inside the glove compartment. Also in the right front corner of the engine room there is a second fuel cut-off block which is fixed under the protective cover which can be swung up for access. Other fuse blocks may also be included in the models and are normally located in the engine compartment. Every fuse works independently to protect a particular loop of the electrical system, and all the loops are labeled on the face of the fuse panel. Miniature fuses with blade terminal type are applied to the fuse block with the possibility of their manual withdrawal and insertion. When an electrical component is defective, it is wise that one checks the fuse first; among the simplest ways could be checking using a test light at the end of the terminal of the fuses. Thus, if there is power on one side of the fuse but not on the other side, then the fuse is blown-this can also be seen just by eye, as the element in between the terminals melts when a fuse blows. Blown fuses should therefore be replaced with fuses of the correct type since although fuses come in different ratings that are physically interchangeable they should not be swapped since each electrical circuit needs a specific amount of protection; the amperage value is molded into the fuse body. If a replacement fuse blows instantly, it should not be replaced again before the real problem, mostly a short circuit within the wires due to a bad or worn wire has been addressed.
