Setup

The Littelfuse Emergency Fuse Kit is designed for immediate use. No complex setup is required for the fuses themselves. For the roadside tester/puller:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the fuse kit and tester/puller from its packaging.
2. Storage: Store the kit in an easily accessible location in your vehicle, such as the glove compartment or trunk, for quick access during emergencies.
3. Tester/Puller Power: The tester/puller is self-powered and does not require external batteries or charging. It is ready for use upon removal from the package.

Operating Instructions

Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific fuse box locations and fuse diagrams before attempting any fuse replacement. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off before working with electrical components.

Using the Roadside Tester/Puller:

1. Testing Fuses:
   • Identify the fuse to be tested.
   • Place the tester's probes onto the exposed test points of the fuse (usually small metal dots on top of the fuse).
   • The tester will indicate if the fuse is good or blown. Refer to the tester's specific instructions for indicator lights or displays.
2. Removing Fuses:
   • Grip the fuse firmly with the puller end of the tool.
   • Pull the fuse straight out from its socket. Avoid twisting or bending.
3. Installing Fuses:
   • Ensure the replacement fuse has the exact same amperage rating as the original fuse. Using a fuse with a different amperage can cause serious electrical damage or fire.
   • Align the new fuse with the empty socket.
   • Push the fuse firmly into the socket until it is fully seated. The puller end of the tool can assist in pushing the fuse in.

General Fuse Replacement Guidelines:

• Always replace a blown fuse with a new fuse of the identical amperage rating.
• If a new fuse blows immediately after installation, it indicates a more serious electrical problem that requires professional diagnosis and repair. Do not continue to replace fuses without addressing the underlying issue.
• Keep spare fuses readily available in your vehicle.

Maintenance

The Littelfuse Emergency Fuse Kit requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and readiness:

• Storage: Store the kit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cleanliness: Keep the fuses and the tester/puller clean and free from dirt, dust, and moisture. A soft, dry cloth can be used for cleaning.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the kit for any signs of damage or missing fuses. Replace any used fuses promptly to ensure the kit is always complete for emergencies.

Troubleshooting

This kit provides replacement fuses and a testing tool. Troubleshooting typically involves identifying why a fuse blew in the first place.

• New Fuse Blows Immediately: If a newly installed fuse blows as soon as it's inserted or the circuit is activated, this indicates a short circuit or an overload in the electrical system. This is not a problem with the fuse itself but with the vehicle's wiring or components. Do not continue to replace fuses. Seek professional automotive electrical diagnosis and repair.
• Tester/Puller Not Functioning: The tester/puller is self-powered. If it does not light up or indicate a reading when testing a known good fuse, the internal power source may be depleted or the unit may be faulty. The puller function will still work mechanically.
