Collection: Car Fuses

Most cars built after the mid-1980s use ATO/ATC blade fuses in the main fuse box, with some circuits using mini blade fuses. High-current circuits such as the alternator or main battery feed may use maxi blade fuses. Older vehicles sometimes use glass tube fuses. Check your vehicle's owner manual or the lid of the fuse box — it will show the fuse type and ampere rating for each circuit.

Always replace a blown fuse with one of exactly the same ampere rating. The correct rating is printed on the fuse itself, marked in the fuse box diagram, and listed in your vehicle's owner manual. Fitting a higher-rated fuse can allow a circuit to overheat and potentially start a fire, so never substitute a fuse with a higher value even as a temporary fix.

A fuse that blows repeatedly indicates an underlying fault — typically a short circuit in the wiring, a faulty component drawing too much current, or a loose connection causing arcing. Replacing the fuse without diagnosing the root cause is not a long-term solution and can be dangerous. Have the circuit inspected by a qualified auto-electrician to find and fix the cause before fitting a new fuse.

Blade fuses follow a standardised colour code: grey (2 A), violet (3 A), pink (4 A), tan/beige (5 A), brown (7.5 A), red (10 A), blue (15 A), yellow (20 A), clear/white (25 A), green (30 A) and pink/orange (40 A). This colour coding applies to both standard ATO/ATC and mini blade types, making it easy to grab the right fuse at a glance even in poor light.

ATO and ATC blade fuses are physically identical in size and are fully interchangeable. The only difference is how they are designed to open: ATO (Open) fuses are designed with an open-body construction, while ATC (Closed) fuses have a closed body. In practice, most modern vehicles accept both types in the same fuse holder, and they share the same ampere ratings and colour codes. Always verify the ampere rating matches the original.

No. Fitting an over-rated fuse removes the protection the fuse is designed to provide. Instead of the fuse blowing safely, the wiring itself can overheat, melt insulation, and in serious cases start a vehicle fire. If a fuse keeps blowing, the correct action is to diagnose and repair the underlying fault — not to fit a larger fuse. A qualified auto-electrician can trace the fault and resolve it safely.
