How do I fix a blown car fuse?
My radio stopped working and my dashboard went blank, so I think at least one of the fuses in my car has blown. I want to save money and fix the issue myself. How do I fix a blown car fuse?

Fuses are designed to blow if they detect too much voltage in your car’s electrical circuit. The only way to fix a blown car fuse is to install a new fuse.
Replacing a blown fuse can be tricky, so make sure you know what you’re doing before proceeding. Always get a professional’s help if you’re unsure of what to do.
Here’s what to do to replace a blown fuse:
- Locate your car’s fuse box and remove the cover
- Identify the broken fuse
- Remove the blown fuse with your fingers or pliers
- Insert the new fuse in the same spot you removed the blown fuse
- Re-cover the fuse box
- Start your car to see if the electrical components are working again
