What would cause a fuse to keep blowing in a car?
The three causes from the most common to the least common are: An electrical device has failed. If a wiper motor or power lock solenoid have fried and melted on the inside, it might start drawing too much power in an attempt to keep working. This overloads the circuit causing a short and a blown fuse.
Can you put 15 amp fuse wire in a 5 amp fuse?
No, it’s quite safe. I think I’ve seen lamps with 13 amp fuses anyway. If there’s a short-circuit it’ll be more than 5 amps, or 13. Some circuits in older houses might contain Fuse Wire instead of Fuses.

Can a 12 volt problem cause a refrigerator to fail?
A 12-volt problem can cause failure of other appliances and systems if they have 12-volt power to their controls. The refrigerator and air conditioner, even running in propane-fueled mode or on AC power, require DC voltage for their logic circuits, and so may fail to operate when there is a DC system problem.
How long does a slow burst fuse last?
