Do you have to take out the battery when changing a high voltage car fuse?

Don't have to take the battery out but it should be disconnected.
Carefully disconnect the negative (usually black) battery cable from the battery. Be sure you do not let the connector end of that cable or the negative battery terminal touch anything! (I put a heavy-duty plastic baggie over the connecting end of the cable & secure it with a rubberband. No baggie ties!) If the free end of the cable, or the disconnected terminal, touches anything conductive it will short out whatever it touches & could cause hundreds (or thousands) of dollars of damage. It could even cause an explosion if there is hydrogen gas accumulated near the battery, serious injury, or even death.
Once the negative battery terminal is disconnected, there should be no electricitity flowing anywhere, & it should be safe to change the fuse.

What does a coil do in a motor vehicle?
The spark plug requires a very high voltage for the spark to leap the gap between the contacts and provide a source of ignition. The coil does this by changing the voltage from the battery/alternator from a very low voltage to a very high one through a process called induction.
How do you get the high beams to come on a 2004 KIA Optima after changing a low beam bulb on the drivers side Both High beams will not come on now.?
Check the fuse in the fuse box in engine compartment by the battery. There is one labeled High Beam. It costs about $10 at Auto Zone.
How do you wire a high watt light to a battery?
Need more information. Wattage of bulb, voltage of bulb, voltage of battery and wire size of the circuit.
Low volt fuse to high volt fuse?
It is not safe or recommended to replace a low voltage fuse with a high voltage fuse. The fuse should always match or exceed the voltage rating of the circuit it is protecting. Using a high voltage fuse in a low voltage circuit can lead to overcurrent, equipment damage, or in extreme cases, fire hazards. Always use the correct rated fuse for your circuit.
Can you use a high voltage capacitor on a low voltage battery?
Yes. You just don't want to exceed the voltage rating of the capacitor.
Why would your battery light stay on after you have put in a new battery and alternator?
The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.
Why do your battery gauge read too high?
Voltage Regulator bad
What does it mean when the battery gauge reads high in my ford F-150?
When your battery gage reads high, it means that your voltage regulator is shot. Your voltage is too high. You are about to wreck your battery and some of your electronics. You are facing an extremely expensive repair job if you do not get a fairly inexpensive part fixed.
What is an object called that melts under high voltage to protect circuits?
A device that melts under high current , not high voltage is a circuit protective fuse. There are many fuses that are rated for voltages in the 10,000 volt range. It is the over current that trips them.
Why a fuse of high voltage is used for electrical appliances of less voltages in comparison to fuse?
for those appliances do not break immediately...........
How can high and low voltage be stablise to stable 415V AC?
High and low voltage can be stabilizes in a 415V battery, by ensuring that it is being spread across the battery evenly. It is important that all of the energy not come from one area.
Why does your 1998 Saturn sc-2 eat up batteries?
Check the alternator. If the voltage is too high it will overcharge the battery and destroy it. If the voltage is too low the battery will discharge and could be mistaken for a destroyed battery.
