Troubleshoot short circuits without blowing fuses

The Fuse Saver® 2.0 automotive short circuit tester provides a fast and safe way to diagnose electrical shorts in vehicles without repeatedly blowing fuses or relying on traditional smoke-testing methods.

The Fuse Saver uses manual-reset thermal circuit breakers that allow technicians to stress test a circuit while protecting it from continued current flow when a short is detected. When the breaker trips, simply reset it to restore power and continue troubleshooting. This makes it easier to track down difficult-to-find electrical shorts without constantly replacing fuses.

The kit includes three color-coded, manual-reset thermal breakers rated at 10, 15, and 20 amps. The included 10-foot fuse cord gives technicians plenty of room to move around the vehicle while troubleshooting, making the Fuse Saver useful for diagnosing radios, CD players, radar detectors, and other automotive accessories.

How the Fuse Saver® 2.0 Works

1. Remove the fuse from the vehicle circuit you need to troubleshoot.
2. Connect the Fuse Saver’s 10-foot fuse cord to the fuse box in place of the original fuse.
3. Select the appropriate thermal breaker for the circuit.
4. Connect the breaker to the 10-foot fuse cord.
5. Apply power to the circuit and begin troubleshooting.
6. When a short circuit is detected, the thermal breaker trips and interrupts the circuit.
7. Manually reset the breaker to restore power and continue testing.

This allows technicians to repeatedly test the circuit while tracking down the source of the short, without continually replacing blown fuses.

The standard fuse cord includes an integrated ATC/ATO Standard and Mini adapter.
