Editing Fusebox (section)

==Fuses==

Fuses protect your car from electrical short circuits and power overloads that can damage equipment or start a fire. Often, a fuse will blow due to a momentary overload, and replacing the bad fuse as directed below will fix the problem (the car's horn or interior lights may cease to work, for example). If a fuse blows repeatedly, it indicates an electrical problem that will require a little trip to your Lotus Dealer. The wires can corrode on the reverse of the fusebox and break off. If this happens new clip in fuse terminals can be sourced from Smart car dealers, part number 011 545 84 26 or 004 545 52 26, both parts numbers are correct. Simply solder them onto the wire and push fit them into a spare socket in the fusebox, then mark up your handbook with the change. 

'''Never replace a fuse with one of bigger amperage. This could damage the device the fuse is meant to protect.'''
