how to blow a 30amp fuse

alright so, as of right now my abs is disabled via a pair of nippers - i cut the wire inside the fuse. I tried to blow the fuse by direct shorting a tractor battery, and also with a charger on it set at engine start, and it still did not blow the fuse... so, how do I do this?

You know, you can just pull the fuse out of the slot to redner the circuit disconnected. You don't need to physcially destroy the fuse to diable it.

As for why it wouldn't blow, I don't know but something wasn't hooked up right. I an assure you that it wasn't flowing that much current through it.

Woah dude you got issues. You're just looking to destroy your ABS module doing **** like that. Pulling the fuse does work exactly the same way you know and then you can put it back in when you're done doing whatever it is you do. All an ABS module needs is 18 volts and countless amps running through it because you're trying to blow a fuse.

I think you misread...



How to pop the fuse? You dont need to just pull it and replace.
or grab a pair of jumper cables.
Connect to a battery.. then carefully short the fuse with em.
A 30amp fuse should blow in like .2seconds.

well i dont like abs, and if u take out the fuse and get into an accident, wether your fault or not, the insurence company will see no fuse, know you took it out, and say "we're not covering you" while a blown abs fuse will say "theres something seriously wrong here if the abs fuse blew to cause an accident like this" then its manafactuer defect, and not something I did..... even tho i blew the fuse, wtf would know, unless they read this thread.....

Why don't you just do the ABS Mod and then not have to act like a ree ree and try to blow a fuse.

Well my opinion is if you want to disable or change something on your truck...be ready to deal with the consequences...

I know this comment wasn't what you were looking for...But I just couldn't resist once I saw your reason for wanting to do this....

Wow...I can't count the number of times I've blown fuses by accident and he can't even blow one on purpose.

Its like being the "untouchable" of electronics...
