Before replacing a fuse, it is necessaryto eliminate the causeof its melting. If the fuse supplies
more than one circuit, its melting could have been causeby a different circuit from that suspect-
ed.
Thefuses must be replaced with others of the samerating; the use of similar material or fuses
whose characteristicsare even slightly different can prejudice their operation and safety in the
car.
