Fuses

Your Toyota vehicle has a fuse box that contains all of the different fuses and relays that make up the electrical systems in your vehicle. The fuses themselves are electrical devices that are designed to prevent electronic circuits from being overloaded. Most automotive fuses use strips of wire that will melt or break if the currents that pass through are exceeding the amperage rate of the fuses. Fuses will blow in order to protect the circuit and wiring from damage due to this excessive amount of electricity. Fuses blowing or having problems can, in turn, cause problems with the functionality of some accessories your vehicle has. There are some signs you can look out for that indicate failing or worn fuses that you should pay attention to so that you can get replacement fuses. If a fuse is losing power, then you will likely notice a decrease in functionality or power in other accessories. These include things like your power windows, locks, or radio. Obviously, if you look at your fuses and see one is broken or burnt, you need a replacement. You can find OEM Toyota fuses right here on our site.
