    I found that many people don't know this. Do You? I guess having a mechanic as a father and growing up on a farm probably helped.
    Pick up some spare fuses cheap: amzn.to/49Twi8u or get some higher quality ones: amzn.to/3BU1HuO

      • Be carefull with Ama. & Chiii-nuh
      "cheap" fuse kits.
      • I don't recall their channels , but
      i've seen TWO guy test those
      cheap non-USE , non-BUSS kits ,
      with abyssmal & potentially deadly
      results.
      • iirc , the worst was a 5A fuse that
      had 20A , increased to 30A ( to
      MAKE it blow ) for 30+ minutes ,
      but IT NEVER BLEW , and actually
      showed NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER !
      Basically , it was a box of stamped
      out melted put into multi colors
      of plastic , with no chance of
      "blowing" ; a car fire waiting to
      happen ⚠️ 🔥 🚨

      I too grew up on a farm. Although I am not a mechanic I have rebuilt four engines in my time and did all the repair work (excepting transmissions) from the sixties until they became so computerized it was best left to a mechanic. I was fortunate to have a friend and neighbor that managed a Toyota dealership parts dept. and could get parts (for any make) at a discount. He was a mechanic on an International drag team that placed third Internationally. His fun car was a 69" Camaro with a custom roll cage and a nitrous oxide set up. It was a damned beast and could top 200 mph. Those were the days.

      That's probably because they make dedicated tools for doing it that don't require removing a fuse or keeping one on hand. That being said, in a pinch, this probably works, but I personally hate messing with working fuses as there really should be some dielectric grease in there for any application where moisture could get in.

    • @domineech
      @domineech 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@SmallSpoonBrigade I have run into fuses that test good with a circuit tester but were still bad. They were broken or blown but still made contact until you went over the slightest bump. In this situation though it's not about pulling them to test them it's about pulling them to replace them.

    • @chrisreynolds6331
      @chrisreynolds6331 5 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      Indeed there are good ones and terrible ones. When I buy a box of fuses I sacrifice one by putting twice the rated current though it to make sure it fails. I had a bad batch once and I put 30 amps through a 10 amp fuse and it held. Just caught fire after 30 seconds. Defeats the object of a fuse!

    Very good pick up there young fella. Haven't thought of that before, as I'm not in the habit of blowing fuses.
    Now in the old days we had glass fuses. In the event of not having any replacements available you could use the foil wrapping from a cigarette pack, wrapped around the fuse.
    If there was still a fault, the wrapper would just burn off. All the old Guys without Dementia would remember that.

    That’s easier than the fuse puller they give you that is a little tiny pair of tweezer like plastic things that you can’t squeeze hard enough to pull out the fuse. I worked on cars my whole life and somehow that one slid by me. Much easier just to slide that on and pull.

      yeah, my situation too, some of the plastic tweezer designs seem better in some brands of cars.
      also - why does it have to be cold weather when my fuses need checking/replacing?

    Before we all get excited about this, reality is you won't find 1 out of 10 fuse blocks with fuses spaced far enough apart to do this. Keep your needle nose pliers handy.

    Been using the Fuse Puller supplied in the Fuse Box of my Car and it is sometimes very 'hit and miss' because it loses grip on the Fuse. This is so much better !! 🇦🇺

    Well, i had a look and it does not work in general. It did not work with "big" brands like Littelfuse bacause the notch is to small and other manufacturers like MTA does not have the gap at all...

    Thanks for the tip. Never knew about it in 50 years of driving (20 with old glass fuses and 30 with these blade-type fuses). Now that I know, I'm sure Murphy's Law will kick in and a totally new fuse system will come in on new cars and send me back to square one.

    Okay, I was expecting this to be some bogus video about a worthless trick, but I was wrong. I learned something useful from this that I didn't know. Now I need to go out in the garage and check it out with my oldest car that still uses that type of fuse. Nicely done.
