China strikes again! Apparently fuse brand matters if my research is correct. What’s everybody’s favorite fuse brand?
Also for my 2002 BMW 330Ci E46 should I get ATO/ATC fuses?
Thanks.
Your local parts store will have fuses .Just take yours with you but you may have to buy a fuse kit . At least that way you don’t have to worry about an inferior product from who knows where.
I havent blown a fuse in years bu5 would just buy what the parts store had. Usually there are spares provided in the fuse box though. I just threw away my collection of glass fuses. Maybe I could have sold them.
What is the difference between ATC and ATO fuses?
ATC – Automatic Transfer Case fuses and ATO – Automatic Throw Over fuses are both automotive blade fuses with a regular size. They can be used interchangeably, provided both fuses come with a similar amp rating.
However, a slight difference exists between the ATC fuse and the ATO fuse. The Automatic Transfer Case fuse is designed with an enclosed fuse element within the housing. This helps to protect the fuse from environmental factors that result in corrosion.
Conversely, the Automatic Throw Over fuse has an opening at the bottom, and this exposes the fuse element to corrosion.
