Things to Check Before Changing Fuses
If certain electrical components in your vehicle are not working, it’s possible that a fuse has blown. Blown fuses can be identified by a broken wire inside the fuse. Before replacing any electrical components, check the corresponding fuses to see if they need to be replaced.
