Yes, so you quickly find the full wiring diagram for the make model and year of your car (which you keep with you at all times in case of such emergency) take out your magnifying glass and torch (if at night) and using another page to locate which fuse box, tracing the narrow tracks and using the codes, you find the fuse that has blown, simples!

had these in my previous car, found a faulty fuse in 1 second, did not even need to get the fuse manual. I want all my fuses like this now!.

not tried these, but if the 'glows red' function actually works, that's very a nifty idea!

That's nothing. Decent quality fuses go bang when they are overloaded :wink:

But you wouldn't be able to know which one went "bang" and got fused with the "decent quality" ones your referring to.. At least with this one if it fuses it's no hassle diagnosing the problem as you can see it glowing to say it's fused.
Great find op.. It's getting hot.. heat added :sunglasses:

Normally, the fuse that has blown is the one on the circuit of the things that are not working. That tends to make it easy to identify.

Sounds a good idea. However identifying a standard fuse is not as dramatic as you make out.
The fuse box layout is usually on the back of the cover so no need to go searching opening other pages etc as you've removed the cover anyway with the intention to replace.
Torch might be required if it's dark and magnifying glass depending on eyesight

Why are people arguing about this sure you can by bulk normal fuses for less but it's 10p Halfords normally sell these for a whopping £3.39!
