Fuse box/Compus

[Billy Griggs]

Does anyone have a fuse panel diagram, or can tell me which fuse to replace? My overhead compus/temp is out.

2001 ST 4x4

Check your fuse box cover, most usually have a fuse diagram located on the back or front of it. You can also use an ohm meter to check the fuses without yanking them out and find the bad one.

Also check the mode button. Make sure it didnt get turned off.

Pls explaine how to ck fuses with a VOM without removing them

 

[TRACket Paul]

Bill, or ruining the meter.

 

[Dingo]

Simple. Disconnect battery. Clip one terminal to a ground. Poke exposed metal points of fuses with other terminal.



(Most of us use a test light)

I pull them and do a visual, seems to work

 

[Dan Long]

The other way is to set it to test continuity, touch one probe to each side of the fuse. If it beeps or shows continuity, the fuse is good.

 

[Bill Barber]

But you have to pull the fuse, correct? you cannot ck fuses when they are in place,

are no exposed contacts.

Sure there are, right on top. In the pic below you can see them on the red fuse on either side of the '10'

Learn somthing new every day, had no idea the contacts are exposed on the top of the fuse

Thx.

 

[Dingo]

Yes there are. Look closely at the fuse. I haven't pulled a fuse to check it in 5+ years.

Yeah, I have "pencil point" leads I use on my Fluke DMM which helps reach small contacts. Verrrry handy for fuses and computer work.
