In most electronics in the vehicles that we drive today has fuses of some size. There are fuses that are in the fuse panel that can either take a glass fuses or blade fuses. These can range from .5 amps up to 30 amps. These run all the electronics in the cars panel like the lights in the dash and things like that. The problem comes from when you have to figure out which one is blown. The easiest way to do this is with a test light. This will tell you which one is blown with out having to take out every one of them. There are certain cars that take different fuses like the European cars but those fuses are not very popular.
Then there are other types of fuses that are used by people that install car audio. In this profession they use one of three different types of fuses and fuse holders. There is the ANL fuses and the ANL fuse holders. These look like big Blade fuses. You can find them from the size of 100 amps to 300 amps for car amplifiers. They are used to keep things from overloading and catching the car on fire.
If a fuse blows then you will have to get it checked out. Do not just replace with a bigger fuse. This will be a bad thing to do since it can cause a fire or burn up the electronics in your car. Also there are the AGU fuses that range in sizes from 30 amps to 80 amps. These are popular for some of the small to medium systems. They look like a big glass fuse and they have there own types of fuse holders also. The last type of fuses they use are the Maxi fuses. These are also available in sizes of 30-80 amps.
So as you can see there are a lot of different types and sizes of fuses and fuse holders.
