If something electrical in your car stops working, (like your power windows, headlights, or windshield wipers), it might be a blown fuse. Identify which electrical part isn’t working. Using the owner’s manual, locate the fuse box. Then, locate the fuse for the part that isn’t working. Remove the blown fuse with a plastic fuse removal tool, usually located in the fuse box. Install a new fuse with the same amperage rating. Test the electrical part for proper operation to verify the repair. Replacing a fuse is one of the easiest repair jobs you can, and should, do yourself. If you are unsure of what to do, ask an adult to help, go online to access how-to guides on this repair, and always consult your vehicle owner’s manual to learn more.
