switch off malfunctioning power circuits.
If a fuse is blown, the components and systems
secured by that fuse will stop operating.

A blown fuse must be replaced by an
appropriate spare fuse (recognizable by its
color or the fuse rating given on the fuse) of
the amperage recommended in the fuse chart.
