Best Answer

The fuse will work just like any other but the devises protected are not designed to draw more than 10 amps. Allowing the circuit to go above that risks destroying those items.

The fuse is the weakest link and is designed to blow in the event of a malfunction before damage can occur.

How do you bypass the interior lights on the soundbar of a 2004 Jeep Wrangler when the doors are removed?

The fuse to remove is fuse 4 (10 Amp) from behind the glove box. Or on a 2004 model leave the fuse in place. The lights will come on with the ignition but turn off automatically after about ten minutes. Take out the glove box. You will see the fuse box. Beneath it should be a fuse chart. Look for "Door Sw Defeat." Removing that fuse will shut of the dome and under dash lights. I'm going to put in a switch coming off of that wire. This is based on my '99 but I bet it can't be too much different. Any of the Jeep aftermarket catalogs sell a couple of options: 1) an actual dome light bypass switch which mounts right under the glove compartment area - $25, OR 2) a pair of dome light switch depressors - $10 The latter is a very simple solution - it's just a clip that fits over the spring-loaded switch on the door frame and keeps the switch depressed just like the doors would when they are not removed Try out http://www.quadratec.com/ I bought what is called an "Add A Circuit" fuse link. This thing has two slots for 10 amp fuses and plugs into the "Door Sw Defeat" fuse slot. It also has a wire coming off it to add another line to it. What I did was pull the 10 amp fuse out, plugged in the Add A Circuit and plugged the fuse into the second opening of the new dual fuse holder. Then I installed a toggle switch under the dash near accessible only when the glove box is open. From the toggle switch, I connected a ground wire to it, grounded that to an existing metal screw, and the other wire connected to the wire coming from the dual fuse holder. Flipped the switch and the light turns off. The total cost was, $1.19 for the toggle switch and about 5 bucks for the Add A Circuit connector. Piece of cake! Good luck!


How do you size circuit breakers?

If you are using 14AWG wire in your circuit, you will fuse with a 15 amp breaker as 14AWG maximum amperage is 15 amps to 100 ft of wire. If the wire run is longer than 100ft, then you would fuse for 10 amps max. If you are using 12AWG then it can carry 20 amps, etc. Longer than 100ft you would fuse for 15amps. note: 14AWG is called 14/2 and 12Awg is called 12/2 commonly.

How do you change a fuse for Peugeot 207 windscreen washer?

Open the bonnet and locate the fuse box next to the battery. It has a black cover on that needs to be lifted off by pressing the latch on the bottom and right hand side. Locate the 10 amp fuse in slot number 3 (it is a small 10 amp fuse positioned next to the big green fuse) and remove. Check to see if the fuse has blown. Insert new 10 amp fuse in its place, put cover back on and close bonnet.
