How to check if a fuse is OK?
Start at the CU by checking all terminations then with a voltage indicator start at the fuse/MCB and check at all fittings on the affected circuit. MCB or previously loose connection somewhere between MCB and failed lamp now open circuit. if MCB is ok check continuity of L-L, N-N and E-E between CU and light fittings
What can be the cause of no power after replacing a fuse?
After he left I replaced it but found out power was not restored. It is definitely the one fuse – all others are fine. What could it be? Sounds like either your replacement fuse is bad or perhaps it is not fully screwed in.
What happens when a Fuse goes bad on a radio?
The sacrificial device known as the fuse is the only protection your radio, lights, and other electrical components have. Technically speaking, a fuse doesn’t actually go bad — a blown fuse has actually performed its job exactly as intended. That’s a good thing, but it implies that there was something wrong elsewhere in the circuit.
Why is my Fuse dead but my circuit breaker is not tripped?
However, in some cases the breaker or fuse may seem fine, and even if you reset the circuit breaker the circuit is still dead. In those cases the culprit might be a GFCI outlet that has tripped.
Start at the CU by checking all terminations then with a voltage indicator start at the fuse/MCB and check at all fittings on the affected circuit. MCB or previously loose connection somewhere between MCB and failed lamp now open circuit. if MCB is ok check continuity of L-L, N-N and E-E between CU and light fittings
Why are my lights not coming back on?
It was a broken neutral at the consumer unit. Where the stripped cable was, had broken and therefore no continuity of circuit. At the light fittings I got no voltage between line and neutral but I got 230v between line and earth. Check the neutral of the circuit is connected to the neutral bar properly.
Where to check for a blown fuse or tripped MCB?

Why are rear lights not working but brake lights are?
If the rear light lights up correctly but does not become bright when the brake is applied then the switch of the brake is faulty. This circuit is connected with the brake pedal – if the switch is out of place or connected incorrectly then the pedal may not be able to complete the circuit correctly.
Is it possible to remove the problem section on the fuse board?
No where else is affected, and the tv switches on from the socket in the bedroom where the fault began. Is it possible to remove the problem section on the fuse board, and get a replacement to pop in its place? (I think they are called MCB’s – Google helped me there!) Thanks!
Where is the fuse on the brake light?
You will get the fuse panel under the dashboard and the PDC under the hood. The brake light switch is also to be found under the dashboard and check if its plunger touches the brake pedal arm. Any problem with the fuse box and light switch will affect the brake lights. In case if the fuse is blown, change it with a new one.
What happens if your brake lights are not working?
If any of them does not work, other drivers behind you won’t see if you are moving or not. It can cause severe accidents, especially on dark streets or during heavy rain and snow. The cops will also flag you if they see you are during without functioning lights.
How can I tell if my tail lights have a fuse?
When you have located the fuse for the tail lights use a fuse tester to check the connection. If the tester lights up – your fuse is functioning fine. If it does not light up then, replace the fuse with another of the similar amperage and size. In many instances, you can see the break in the metal strip of the fuse.

Is the turn signal not the bulb or fuses?
Turn signal out – not the bulb or fuses. Any ideas? Turn signal out – not the bulb or fuses. Any ideas? Can anyone help me with this diagnosis and fix? Right turn signals (front and back) and right emergency flashers are not working. The bulbs are fine, based on the fact that the parking lights work (same bulbs).
If any of them does not work, other drivers behind you won’t see if you are moving or not. It can cause severe accidents, especially on dark streets or during heavy rain and snow. The cops will also flag you if they see you are during without functioning lights.
Why are the reverse lights on my car not working?
If everything is dead, it’s either a relay, fuse (check them all, I can’t tell you how many I’ve found that seemingly had nothing to do with whatever wasn’t working), broken wire or reverse switch (if they still have them).
Can a reverse light be used as a relay?
I spent way to long figuring this out when i did it on our platinum. what i ended up having to do was use the reverse light 12v+ as the signal wire with a relay. Yah you have to wire everything in with a relay on these new trucks and either keep the existing load in the circuit or wire in a resister.
Is the fuse on the passenger seat light good?
I checked fuse #15 in the passenger floor board and its good. I also checked w/ a test light and have no power to the lights or bulbs. Both bulbs and LEDs are good. Any ideas? I cant think of anything else. Thanks! I know this sounds crazy. But flip the bulb socket around.

If the flasher breaks or has any internal issues it can cause the lights to malfunction, or not respond at all when the turn signal lever or hazard light button are pressed.
What should I do if I Blew my Fuse?
The Fix: Make sure the faulty device is unplugged and there is no damage to the outlet. First, test the circuit. Then check for any damage on or around the electrical panel. If you see any damage, call an electrician before doing anything else with it. If there is none, flip the breaker switch back to its operating position.
Why does my Fuse Box keep going off?
I checked the fuse box expecting to find that it had tripped but it has not. Tried turning it off and back on but no joy. Any ideas? All the lights are on one circuit and the live and neutral hop from one circuit to the next (loop in loop out).
Where are the fuses for the dashboard lights?
Check under the hood, under the dashboard, or near or in the glove compartment. Once you find the fuse box or boxes, remove the lid and check the diagram on the underside of the lid for a fuse labeled “dash lights” or just “lights.” Refer to your owner’s manual if you have trouble locating the fuse boxes or the dashboard light fuse.
What to do if your light switch wont work?

What should I do if my reverse lights are not working?
Sounds like you might need to look at the switch if both are out and the other lights work. Body control module fuses 11 and 15 are for the left and right rear exterior lamps. Sounds like you might need to look at the switch if both are out and the other lights work.

What happens to the back up light switch?
The backup lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, the entire switch unit must be replaced. The backup lamp switch controls the flow of battery voltage to the backup lamp bulbs through an output on the backup lamp feed circuit.
What to do if there are no back up lights?
If the switch tests pass and there’s no 12 volts coming out for the lights, you’re done. All you can do is order a new module. I suppose $800.00 is peanuts for some people but I’d sure rather own vehicles like mine that use a pretty reliable 15-dollar switch.
What to do if your Peterbilt light goes out?
Should b marked as clearance lites. yup if u have a clicking in the fuse box then the relay is clicking. try moving a spare one to the spot and see if that stops the lights goin out. if it does u can leave the new one in the spot. just make sure they r the same amps. u should have some spares in the fuse box.
