## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Early type
-   64 applications across MD, TMD, TD, TID, TAMD and AQAD engines
-   Supersedes 3556336 and 949161
-   3556336 was catalogued earlier as a fuse box
-   Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly four

## 🔌 Function

Protects its circuit by melting and breaking the connection before the wiring can overheat under a fault or overload.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Circuit completely dead with everything else working normally
-   Element visibly parted or the body blackened inside
-   Blade or cap corroded, dull or green
-   New fuse blowing again straight away, which points to a fault in the circuit rather than the fuse
-   Holder or clip discoloured and running warm

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Never fit a higher rating to stop a fuse blowing - find the fault; the fuse is the only thing protecting that wiring
-   Because 3556336 was a fuse box, an order against the old number may not bring what you expect - check the description before accepting a substitution
-   Clean the holder contacts; a corroded clip runs hot and blows fuses that are perfectly sound
