An overload of electricity. Fuses are intended to be the weak link in case of an overload so they can be easily replaced. Otherwise the break would occur elsewhere and be more difficult to fix, and may even cause a fire.
Fuses serve one purpose and one purpose only. They are there to protect the wiring from overload. An overload without the fuse blowing will cause a fire.
The circuit is permitting too much electricity to flow. It could be the circuit is overloaded (too many things using too much power) or the circuit may be defective, and have a "short circuit", where wires touch each other. The fuse blows before the wires get hot and start a fire.

What makes the engine cooling fan operate and what causes it to blow out fuses?
a temperature sensor that detects when the car reaches a certain temperature before it overheats which kicks on the fan to cool the engine. the fan may not be grounded properly which causes the blowing of fuses to prevent a fire.
What causes electric windows and central locking not to function on a vw polo 2000?
The cause of this issue can be blown fuses in the car. If the fuses are not blown, there is a fault in the electrical system.
What would cause oil to blow out the tailpipe?
Excess fuel causes black smoke.
What are the causes of blood clotting in brain and heart?

Does Mazda 626 have fuses for abs brakes?

What causes fuses to blow on tail lights 1990 buick centry?
A short to ground causes all fuses to blow. If you have a trailer connecter then start there first.
What causes fuses to blow in a 2000 Chevy S10?
Circuit overload?Dead short to ground?
MDL vs ADL fuses?
The difference between MDL fuses and ADL fuses are that MDL fuses are a slow blow fuse with a long time lag. ADL fuses on the other hand, are normal blow fuses with a medium time lag.
What makes the engine cooling fan operate and what causes it to blow out fuses?
a temperature sensor that detects when the car reaches a certain temperature before it overheats which kicks on the fan to cool the engine. the fan may not be grounded properly which causes the blowing of fuses to prevent a fire.
What would cause your fuse to blow when you turn on your lights on your 1993 Mazda 323 the fuse to the tail lights on dash lights blow?
I'm not sure I understand your question. I can't tell if you have one or two different fuses "blowing." The only thing which causes fuses to "blow" is a short circuit condition in the circuit which the fuse protects. IF you have two different circuits blowing fuses, then you have at least two short circuit faults. j3h
What would have caused your 40 amp fuse to blow?
What Causes Any Fuse to "Blow?"The cause is what fuses were invented and are used for:to detect and protect against SHORT CIRCUIT conditions, and /or CIRCUIT OVERLOAD conditions.
Why are fusses not good for short circuit currents?
A: FUSES are very good for short circuit protection. On the other hand a short over current may not make the fuse to blow since it requires heat caused by the current to blow. There are fuses that are meant to blow fast and some fuses are designed to blow slow depending on the circuit requirement
Does not blow air at all?
Check your fuses, it might be shot
What causes wind to blow in gusts?
The pressure of the sun causes the wind to blow.
Why do fuses blow?
Fuses usually blow because something powered by them draws too much power. -The solution is to fix the fault, NOT to fit a bigger fuse as I have seen some people do.
Where are the fuses for towing lights on a 2002 ford explorer?
Fuses blow when there is a short circuit or an over current condition.
What can cause a EEC module fuse to blow in a 1996 ford contour?
Same thing that causes other fuses to blow. Too much current through the fuse. A hot wire short to ground. Possibly a short made from a water leak.
