When do you need to replace a fuse box?
Inspect a metal strip (fusible element). A damaged one means the fuse has blown. If so, you need to replace it. However, sometimes the wire may look intact even in the blown fuse. Fuse box diagrams presented on our website will help you to identify the right type for a particular electrical device installed in your vehicle.

What happens when a fuse is in continuity mode?
In “continuity mode”, it will emit a sound signal when the probes touch both of the fuse’s contact points if the fuse is good. The circuit breakers will reset themselves and allow the electrical parts to work again once the overload on the circuit is removed.
Where are fuses and relays located in a car?
In most cars, fuses and relays are installed in the mounting blocks, which are located in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment. Fuses are designed to interrupt the circuit if the circuit current reaches a predetermined force limit.
Why do you need a fuse in a circuit?
Fuses are designed to interrupt the circuit if the circuit current reaches a predetermined force limit. This is necessary to protect components and wires from burnout when an excess current flows through them.
Where are the fuses located in a Mini Cooper?
Each car type distributes its fuses differently, so the fuse location is in a different place from one model to the next. The fuse box in the engine compartment is located to the right of the battery; you just have to lift the battery cover to reveal it.
