Pro1Expat Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 If you are blowing fuses I would suggest you get the wiring checked as you obviously have an electrical problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, a fuse is a fuse..... you obviously need to ensure you are replacing the fuse with a new one of the correct (same) amperage. If you can’t find any at an electrical store / mechanics etc.. you will be able to find some and order from Lazada.

I have seen the flat fuse type come in two sizes, but most rides use the same size type fuse. Mr.DIY may be worth a look for a box of spares. https://www.mrdiy.com.my/car-sun-plug-in-fuses-10pcs-9002055-001001 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsajapan Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 All cars use different sizes within the same car for different AMP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauptmannUK Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 There are at least half a dozen different car fuse styles, and each style comes in a variety of current ratings. If its a modern BMW or MB it will use ATC/ATO blade fuses (20mm long) and/or ATM (11mm long). The vehicle will have more than one fuse box and also 'fusible links' on high current circuits - buy replacements for those from the dealer. Older 'classic' vehicles will likely use Bosch 'torpedo' fuses (25mm ceramic body). Buy a box of mixed values from Lazada - not expensive. Always replace with same current value (they are colour coded). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaLa Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I remember a friend of mine in the UK who repaired washing machines etc and made a good living from it once asking me if the 5 Amp fuse for cars was the same as 5 Amps for household electricals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) At the Nakhula traffic light (Po Ngam rd/soi 14/1) on Sukumvit on the right hand side going out of town is an auto-parts store. Brightly coloured frontage with pictures of trucks etc. It is almost directly under the "southbound "light adjacent to the crosswalk.Turn left and park in the small side street. https://goo.gl/maps/oH1v6TSViKxcu4iF6 Edited January 24, 2021 by VocalNeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
