Each load is equipped with an LED indicator to signal whether a circuit has shorted or if the fuse has blown, allowing for easy identification and replacement. However, it is important to note that there may still be voltage present across the circuit even in the absence of a fuse; this occurs because the fuse box contains its own lighting circuit, which introduces resistance and consequently displays some voltage.
