Frequently Asked Questions About Subaru Fuses

How do you identify the amperage rating of a car fuse?

The most straightforward way to know the amp rating of your car fuse is by checking its body. You can also inspect the fuse diagram of your vehicle to determine the type in each slot. Lastly, you can identify the amperage rating of each fuse based on its colors.

What do the colors of my auto fuse mean?

Car fuses are color-coded based on their amperage. For example, black fuses have an amp rating of one. Pink fuses are four amps, and a blue fuse corresponds to a 15-amp rating. Your auto fuse can also be clear, which means it has the highest rating of 80 amps.

What are the signs of a blown vehicle fuse?

Most blown fuses can cause minor electrical problems, such as backup and interior light malfunctions. Your turn signal and radio might stop working as well because of a blown fuse. However, more severe cases of blown car fuses can cause your vehicle to not start at all. These components may also malfunction if replaced with a higher amperage fuse since you risk melting the wires of the assembly.

How do you remove a car fuse?

Many vehicles have a fuse puller to help car owners remove the automotive fuses quickly. Make sure that your car isn’t running while you remove the fuse to avoid causing a minor overcurrent that can further damage the other electronic components of your ride.

What are the different sizes of Subaru fuses?

There are six primary types of vehicle fuses based on size. Micro2 is the smallest and has a tall thin shape. Low-profile mini and mini fuses, with the low-profile ones having no terminals that extend past their body. Regular fuses are the standard size, while maxi fuses are the largest type. The micro3 fuse is easily distinguishable since it’s the only kind with three terminals.
