A Fusebox in a car is an electrical control center that houses fuses that protect the vehicle's electrical system from damage due to power surges and short circuits. It is usually located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. The Fusebox contains various fuses that correspond to different electrical components of the car such as the headlights, the audio system, or the windshield wipers.

When an electrical component in the car malfunctions or experiences a power surge, the fuse corresponding to that component blows, breaking the electrical circuit and preventing further damage. The blown fuse can easily be replaced with a new one of the same amperage rating. It is important to note that replacing a blown fuse with a higher rated one can cause serious damage to the car's electrical system.
