Have you ever been driving down the road and your heater fan quits or your wipers fail, the first thing to check is the fuse for that piece of equipment.
To find your fuse panel refer to your owners book that came with your vehicle, this will also tell you the fuse location in the fuse panel and its size (amps).
These fuse panels are normally located under the dash on the drivers side or under the hood.
Inside the fuse panel is normally a small plastic tool just for removal and replacement of a fuse, spare fuses can sometimes be found in here as well, plus a location map of each fuse.
The newer plastic colour coded fuses, are a simple pull to remove and push to replace fuse, make sure you replace any fuse with the proper size (amps) for that equipment, too small and it will blow the fuse again, too large and you could cause overheating of wiring and possibly a fire.
If you don't have the small plastic tool (looks like tweezers) to remove the fuse, a pair of snubby nose or needle nose pliers will to the job for you.
Tip; always carry spare spare fuses, you may not be close enough to a garage when they fail.
Tip; keep your car instruction book handy, it has a page just about fuses for your vehicle.
Tip; always carry a small kit of tools with you for the small emergencies you can do yourself.
I haven't mentioned the old glass fuses here, because they are so rare today, but are still used in some special circumstances.
I also haven't mentioned fusible links, which rarely cause a problem and are a lot more difficult to find (need a manual and a good electrical multimeter)

I hope you find this information useful and helpful, have safe drive!
