Remove the fuse. However, if you have to ask this question, you prob shouldn't be messing with switches or electrical stuff.


I've worked on my switches before at other apartments I've just never encountered a literal fuse box. I assume they're just not used anymore in modern homes. I know how to wire everything up well enough at the switch I just wanted to make sure I was appropriately cutting the power and wanted to be extra cautious. I'm not a total dumbass Just too young to have regularly encountered fuse boxes.

Just unscrew. Sometimes the pullouts are for 60 amp circuits, like a stove or dryer. Just be sure to test whatever you're working on before commencing with a circuit tester or multimeter.
