⚙️ Key Features

• Early type
• 64 applications across MD, TMD, TD, TID, TAMD and AQAD engines

🔌 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
