To do this use a voltmeter ohmmeter.
Blown ceramic fuse look like.
How to rewire an australian ceramic style fuse if you have an older style ceramic fuse box you will need to change a fuse wire if it is ever blown.
You need to test whether the ceramic fuse has blown.
T2a250v f1a250v that s fuse rating t is for slow blow fuse and f for fast blow fuse 2a or 1a is amperage rating its usually just number and a 250v is voltage rating its number and v and then just measure the size of fuse in small electrical device is.
Remove the fuse that you suspect to be blown and visually inspect the center element through the case.
A ceramic fuse however shows no damage upon visual inspection.
The film is formed when a short circuit melts the fuse element causing a deposit to be seen on the inside of the fuse barrel as a film.
Another thing to check.
The melting action often causes discoloration of the case and the center element should have an obvious break.
This is necessary for ceramic fuses since they don t develop a blackened appearance like blown glass fuses.
If you just simply replace the fuse there is a good chance the fuse will blow again.
A ceramic fuse is built to withstand high temperatures.
If the fuse is open then the next step is determining what caused the fuse to blow.
Look for a small square opening on the top of the fuse above each blade.
Check one cap on fuse pcb or manual for fuse ratings there should be written something like.
If you have a blown fuse take a look at the other circuitry without touching it.
Blade fuses are sometimes physically difficult to pull out but most vehicles come with a fuse puller tool that is located inside one of the fuse boxes or attached to a fuse box lid.
The more thermally stable fuse is typically filled with sand in order to prevent the conductive film from forming.
Testing a ceramic fuse is the only way to tell if the fuse has blown.
If you see any loose objects they might be the source of a short circuit.
