Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system. Use the charts to locate the fuse in question and confirm the specified amperage on the fuse label. Replace the fuse with a spare fuse of the same specified amperage. There is a Fuse Puller on the back of the cover of the engine compartment fuse box type A.
