FAQs

What does the 20 Amp rating mean?

The 20 Amp rating indicates the maximum amount of electrical current the fuse can safely handle before it blows and breaks the circuit. It is crucial to match this rating to the circuit's requirements.

Can I use these fuses in any vehicle?

Yes, these are universal flat blade fuses designed to fit standard automotive fuse slots. However, you must ensure the required amperage rating for the specific circuit is 20 Amps.

How do I know if a fuse is blown?

A blown fuse will have a broken or melted metal strip visible inside the plastic body. The plastic may also appear discolored or burnt.

What happens if I use a fuse with a higher amperage rating?

Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating than required can prevent the fuse from blowing when it should, leading to overheating, damage to electrical components, wiring, or even a fire.

Are these fuses sold individually?

No, these specific Auto Bar Flat Blade Fuses are sold in a pack of three.

Where can I find replacement fuses for my vehicle?

Your vehicle's owner's manual will specify the type and amperage of fuses used. Auto Bar offers a range of fuses, and these 20 Amp ones are suitable for circuits requiring that specific rating.

Troubleshooting

Fuse blows immediately after replacement

This indicates a persistent short circuit or an overloaded component in the electrical system. Do not replace the fuse again. Have the vehicle's electrical system diagnosed by a qualified mechanic.

Vehicle's electrical component not working

Check the corresponding fuse in the fuse box. If it is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. If the new fuse also blows, there may be a fault in the component or wiring.

Difficulty removing or inserting fuse

Ensure you are using the correct tool (like a fuse puller). Do not force the fuse, as this can damage the fuse holder. If the fuse is stuck, gently try to wiggle it while pulling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides essential circuit protection.
  • Universal fit for most vehicles.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of three.
  • Clearly marked amperage rating for correct application.

Cons

  • Specific 20 Amp rating means they are not suitable for all applications.
  • Pack of 3 may be more than needed for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Replacing a blown fuse is straightforward. First, identify the blown fuse by visually inspecting the metal strip inside (it will appear broken or burnt). Consult your vehicle's owner's manual to locate the fuse box and the specific fuse. Using a fuse puller or a small pair of pliers, carefully remove the old fuse and insert the new 20 Amp Auto Bar Flat Blade Fuse into the corresponding slot. Ensure the new fuse is seated firmly.

Compatibility: These are universal flat blade fuses, designed to fit the standard fuse slots found in the vast majority of automotive electrical systems. However, it is critical to verify that the amperage rating required for the circuit you are servicing is indeed 20 Amps. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can lead to electrical damage or fire hazards.

Care: Fuses are single-use items and do not require maintenance. Store spare fuses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to ensure their longevity.
