Safety locks

Each electric device in the car needs only certain, precisely assigned amount of current. According to this consumption of current in this electric chain, naturally, the cross section of its wire was determined. If consumption of current increases in this electric chain, for example, at the expense of the consumer connected in addition or as a result of short circuit, the wire is overloaded. Thus the wire is warmed or even is heated if in time giving of current is not interrupted. It is done by safety locks.

In order that Audi at emergence of defect was not completely disconnected, safety locks are integrated into various electric chains. Though electric chains between the accumulator, the generator, a starter and the lock of ignition by safety locks are not controlled.

Replacement of safety locks

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. If one of shtekerny safety locks has to be replaced, for these purposes you can use small plastic nippers which are attached to a cover of a box with safety locks (on the left face side of a control panel).
  2. Pay attention that in Audi A4 there are safety locks of the smaller size (tiny fusible), than in the previous models.
  3. If the new safety lock fuses at once, find out, maybe, too weak safety lock is put.
  4. If it not so, determine by the table of safety locks the connected consumers and check them on one. With it you will be helped by the corresponding electric circuit.
  5. In a doubtful case disconnect everything consumers and again serially connect. The consumer at which connection the safety lock will fuse, was faulty.

Additional safety locks

At a certain expanded complete set on a 8-seater support of additional relays at the left under a control panel auxiliary safety locks are placed. Thus most often it is about so-called thermosafety locks. These are safety locks which at an overload of an electric chain for a certain time interrupt a current stream, and then again restore connection.

Inside (3) left face sides of a control panel in a clip are in facing small plastic nippers (2) to take out safety locks, and a crank (4) for an emergency control a sliding roof. In drawing placement of safety locks in a box is below shown (1).
