Safety locks - the general information

Various combinations of safety locks, breakers of a chain and fusible inserts are applied to protection of contact chains of electric equipment of the car. Two assembly blocks are located under the car dashboard, one - in the right part of a motive compartment, near the battery.

Each separate safety lock is used for protection of any concrete electric contour or at once several contours. The ID card of placement of safety locks in the assembly block is usually glued to a cover of the last, from its internal party.

In assembly blocks the safety locks of a compact design equipped with bayonet contacts, and which if necessary are easily taken by fingers from the nests in the block are used. At refusal any of consumers of the electric power first of all it is always necessary to check a condition of the corresponding safety lock. Turn a key in the ignition lock in the situation ON and by means of a lamp sampler probe open plugs of each of safety locks. If the lamp lights up at connection to each of plugs, therefore a safety lock as it should be. If tension takes place only from food giving, so the safety lock fused. Let's notice also that usually the case of a safety lock is made of transparent plastic through which it is easy to define a condition of a working crossing point.

When replacing of the fused safety lock strictly watch that the prepared replaceable corresponded on the type which failed. The safety locks calculated on various nominal current physically can differ in nothing from each other, without being thus interchangeable. Each of electric chains has various working parameters and needs various extent of protection therefore replacement of the safety lock calculated on a certain current, not corresponding to it in parameters is fraught with the most serious consequences (up to fire emergence). Working parameters of a safety lock (nominal current) are usually designated on its plastic case.

If the new safety lock at once after installation also fails, it does not make sense to make its further replacement, - before it is necessary to reveal and eliminate the reason of emergence of an overload in a chain. In most cases that appears the short circuit of a connecting electrical wiring caused by damage of its isolation.

On all models of the cars considered in the Present Manual the main safety lock which is usually calculated on nominal current in 80 A or in 100 A is provided. The safety lock provides the general protection of all contours connected to the battery and is beaten out at an overload of any of them, preventing thereby failure of the main braid of an electrical wiring. The main safety lock consists of a lamellar metal crossing point which easily melts at emergence of electric overloads. Before starting replacement of the main safety lock without fail switch-off the battery. A replaceable main safety lock it is always possible to get in firm service center of the company manufacturer of the car.

If the stereosystem established on the car is equipped with a security code before disconnecting the battery make sure that have the correct combination for input of the audio system in action! The main safety lock is in the assembly block located in a motive compartment of the car, externally a little than differs from other safety locks and changes in the similar way. Remember that the failed main safety lock has to be replaced with the replaceable calculated on the same current.
