Empty spots in a fuse box can also exist for hidden features. Such as for allowing a vehicle to be towed with no power, by allowing the transmission to shift into neutral and etc.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge :-) you have wonderful skills!

F! Absolutely awesome video. Thanks so much, learned heaps.

This is a tremendous teaching video, which I will be re-watching and re-watching until I thoroughly understand. I see one of those awesome 04-06 GTOs in some of the shots. My question is this: I want to give my two after market gauges in my 2006 GTO their own power source tied to the ignition, so they only turn on at engine start. Right now I believe the shop wired them with the car audio which is on a switch, I think to the cigarette lighter in console. Thus when I turn the audio on with engine off, the gauges also turn on, which I do not like. So one person suggested add-a-fuse. Your video convinced me, no way. Another suggested I buy a spare fuse block and harvest a terminal from it, this idea I like very much (and your video discusses it). Do you agree? Would both gauges be able to work from a single added terminal? How do I do it? Any videos on this subject especially in a GTO? Needless to say, if you are anywhere near Phoenix AZ, I would gladly drive there and pay you well to do this.

Thx

Thanks for the video. You're cautioning against fuse taps which makes sense. On the Power fuse (often 20A) inside the cab, is that running to anything typically?? Everything has its own fuse even cig lighter so I wonder if the Power 20A fuse is one we can put a tap into? Thanks.

Except he makes the same error almost every maker of tutorials commits. He spends 3 or so minutes giving a basic description of what a fuse is and why it is important, presumably under the assumption that many viewers will lack even such basic knowledge. Well and good, but then he immediately afterwards speaks of an ECU under the assumption that the same viewer will know what the term means. How many viewers might we estimate know what an ECU is but do not know the basic concepts behind the value and use of fuses? If anyone guesses anything but zero I would be very interested to hear how they think that situation came to be. But I guess he can't be faulted too badly because everyone seems to do this kind of thing and the whole tutorial itself is considerably better than most automotive how-to vids.

My car usb outlet still has power for awhile after i turn the car off. I want to change it so the usb outlet has no power when the car is off. Should or can i move the 15A fuse for "accessory sockets" to a different empty 15A fuse socket?

Thank you sir just been insightful

Appreciate the video explanation but have one more question: How do I locate the accessory fuse or relay in the fuse box located in the engine bay under the hood. If it doesn't exist what is the best alternate relay circuit can I share my after-market front lower bumper DRL lights with. This is for a 2021 Toyota Corolla LE sedan? I would appreciate your advice on this matter.

Hi All good stuff thank you. Confused about running 2 fuse boxes. 1 running from the ignition switched, so that fuse box only live when the key is turned the other box would have a direct feed from the battery So which car circuits need to have there feed from the fuse box switch by the ignition and which circuits need the fuse box with the permanent feed directly from the battery?

Nicely explained! My Miata Infotainment system changes screens without me requesting it to do so. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

are there any extra points in the fuse box to which we can connect new stuff like dash cam etc ?

Can I use blank fuse slots to power up after market accessories such as dash cam?

Is it possible if in the diagram of the fuses in my car there are two fuses that are supposed to be but in practice in the box itself they are not present and they also do not have the connectors to which the fuse legs are supposed to connect? My vehicle is a Kia Picanto 2013 manual transmission

Thank you for the nice video. I find that there's a lot more of vacancy in my fuse box. Why? Should I add fuses?

Nice information bro

I know this is probably a very stupid question, however, im looking to find out why the relays i believe to be interchangeable are not. I have a 98 f150 and I'm trying to get my compressor to come on. Ive done a lot of testing and have more to go BUT i noticed that my manual shows i should have an ACC DELAY RELAY (FULL) and an ACCESSORY DELAY RELAY (FULL) inside under my dash on R4 and R5. Well there are no full relays at all. Before i start taking apart things that are much harder to check on why. I took what i thought to be a full relay from my junction box and when i went to place it in the R5 ACC DELAY RELAY spot its loose. All 3 of the full relays under dash have no visible metal/connectors (not sure how to say that). I was going to head to a junk yard later, but i will have to wait a day or so and would like to work on it in the meantime. You said in the video that it could be from the manufacturer just adding spots or open spots for things later. But the horn relay SHOULD fit into my ACC DELAY RELAY. Am i missing something??

Fusible links are the link type fuse or the latter one is something different? Thanks

HI my fuse box is all messed up I looked in my manual and all the fuses were all mixed up I feel like there was some kinda custom wiring going on in there because I see some speaker wires how do you know if someone did work and modified or changed any components in the vehicle and maybe it changed the fuses that the correct fuses that were supposed to be there in accordance to the manual?

I got three different LED kits. Do i just connect them all to the same wire to the fuse tap? What about the ground cant i just connect them to the same wire?

Hey I’ve got a question? Is it safe to keep a fuse out of its position and have it essentially “turned off”. I’m mainly referencing to my power antennas fuse that I’ve removed because it’s motor is stuck in a constant motion.

@CarsSimplified

As long as it for sure doesn't control anything else that you want to keep available, then yes. Sometimes that's a method mechanics use to diagnose an issue. I can't imagine any vital stuff tied to the power antenna circuit but it's always worth checking.

My main concern is identifying "fusible links." The picture you have of one--I've seen, but how can I tell the difference the blue plastic link and your ordinary plastic crimp joining two wires. I've checked all of my fuses and pertinent relays--all good, but, my power windows and blower motor are still dead. Thanks for showing a picture of it.

recently purchased a 1994 lexus ls400...shortly after, i noticed that the buttons on the radio and the shifter markers do not light up..i pulled the panel fuse (7.5 amp) and it seemed ok. want to have someone look at it but in the meantime i bought a usb outlet for my cigarette lighter and plugged it in...the power from cig lighter worked because the USB port lit up but a few moments after plugging it in the wiper fluid sprayed and the “traction control off” light up on the instrument panel without me touching anything. will be taking it to get looked at but wondering if you have any thoughts? Seems odd that plugging into the cigarette lighter would trigger the washer fluid to spray. perhaps there’s a ghost lol jk cheers great video

Fuses all work under hood but NONE of my fuses work inside my car near my knee at the dash panel. I understand switch has to be on for some to light up but I get nothing at all. I think they have to be related. I keep getting stuck on checking relays bc nobody says the number to use in a manual multimeter

Great information. Question, I am trying to track down a charging problem. A prime suspect is an ac compressor replaced 6 months ago. The mechanic had some issues with the connector/wiring at that time. When I removed the a/c fuse inside the cab of 06 sportage, I lost all response from auto windows, (they wont operate with that fuse pulled). Is it normal or common for a fuse to control more than what the box diagram indicates ?

@CarsSimplified

Жыл бұрын

Thanks, and great question! While it is semi-common, those two components (AC compressor/auto windows) being linked seems a little odd. Components linked together on the same fuse tend to be either related or in close proximity, such as the power accessories/cigarette lighter fuse also providing power to the OBD-2 port. If there is some sort of relationship, like the windows being down disabling the AC automatically, that would make more sense, but I haven't encountered a car that does that. I have limited experience with Hyundai/Kia AC systems, though.

Well, that's a possibility, but if you don't trust your mechanic, you should probably take your car to another one. Pulling the dashboard apart is a very involved job that mechanics don't want to do if they can avoid it, so if they are indeed going in there, it's not something they would pick in order to put work on the clock.

Why do we use Relay in Fuse Box ? Although we have seperate Relay box

Please, What are the smaller " Physically" sized fuses. Although they have the same amperage values as the standard size, blade fuses. My fuse box has both types?

@CarsSimplified

3 жыл бұрын

There are different sizes with different fuse codes (like ATC or ATS) that do the same job. Why an automaker chooses to have a mix is probably due to the fuse box being designed with the possibility of higher amp fuses that require a larger fuse size, and then they fill some of those larger fuse spots with lower amperage fuses so the smaller size fuse options don't fill up completely, leaving only the large section with empty spots to add new features to later. I don't know if this is the complete reasoning behind it, though.

@CarsSimplified

2 жыл бұрын

Assuming that 3 amp fuse is what the manufacturer calls for, that is a bad idea; the circuit (dash cam, wires, etc.) is designed to handle a given amount of amperage, and when it gets too high, that 3 amp fuse protects it. A 5 amp fuse will not offer the protection it needs. If it burns another 3 amp fuse, there is a problem elsewhere.
