Causes of Car Fuses Melting

A fuse is one of the most important components in a car. Its function is to protect other components of the car from electrical current flow.

Although its role is quite crucial, there is one problem that often arises related to this fuse component, which is a fuse that can suddenly melt, whether it is the fuse itself or its socket. This can certainly be very dangerous and poses a risk of fire 

For those of you who may also experience the same problem, here are some causes that can make a car fuse melt:

Causes of Melting Car Fuses

1. Using a Fuse that is Not the Correct Size

A car fuse can melt if there is excessive heat generated in the area around the fuse. This excessive heat can arise because the fuse's power capacity does not match the electrical current load flowing through it. The power capacity of a fuse can be measured in amperes.

The higher the electrical current passing through, the greater the heat generated. Ideally, a good fuse will break if it carries a certain current according to its capacity, but if the fuse cannot break, the heat will continue to increase and eventually the fuse can melt.

2. Poor Quality Fuse

Fuses commonly used in cars are made from flat metal strips that can break when carrying a certain size of electrical current. The outer part is wrapped in plastic that serves as an insulator. This plastic wrapping is usually given a specific color as a marker of the fuse's capacity.

The quality of the fuse can also be one of the reasons why fuses easily melt. Fuses of poor quality often have problems with the metal strip or the plastic wrapping that can heat up and melt more easily.

3. Problems with the Fuse Socket

The cause of a melting fuse can also come from the socket or housing of the fuse. Some common problems are a socket that is too loose or has accumulated dirt inside it, causing the fuse to heat up easily.

You can easily recognize this cause if after replacing the melted fuse, the new fuse also melts quickly within a short period of time. This means the problem is not with the fuse itself but with the socket.

To address this cause, you just need to repair or replace the damaged and problematic fuse socket.

4. Overloaded Fuse

This is one of the reasons that is quite often found in older cars that have been modified with additional accessories and wiring. If you add all these additional loads without using a separate new fuse, then one of your fuses is likely to become overloaded and melt.
