how to get fuses out of christmas lights

A common problem with Christmas lights is when a fuse blows. To fix this, you can do the following: 1. Locate the blown fuse. Look for a small glass tube with a metal filament inside. It may be located in the plug or inside the light strand. 2. Remove the blown fuse. Use a pair of pliers or your fingers to remove the blown fuse from the light strand. Be careful not to touch the exposed metal filament as it can be hot. 3. Replace the blown fuse. Purchase a replacement fuse of the same size and rating. Install the new fuse into the light strand.
