How do I fix a blown car fuse?

My radio stopped working and my dashboard went blank, so I think at least one of the fuses in my car has blown. I want to save money and fix the issue myself. How do I fix a blown car fuse?

Talullah Blanco · Updated on Feb 11, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Fuses are designed to blow if they detect too much voltage in your car’s electrical circuit. The only way to fix a blown car fuse is to install a new fuse.

Replacing a blown fuse can be tricky, so make sure you know what you’re doing before proceeding. Always get a professional’s help if you’re unsure of what to do.

Here’s what to do to replace a blown fuse:

Locate your car’s fuse box and remove the cover

Identify the broken fuse

Remove the blown fuse with your fingers or pliers

Insert the new fuse in the same spot you removed the blown fuse

Re-cover the fuse box

Start your car to see if the electrical components are working again
