Can you use replace a 15 amp little fuse with a 25 amp little fuse?

Absolutely not. The fuse is there to protect the wiring. Installing a larger fuse than required will remove that protection and could cause a fire. You can go with a smaller fuse but never a larger fuse.

Can you replace a 20 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can I replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse in the AC?
No, you cannot replace a 10-amp fuse with a 20-amp fuse. Fuses are meant to guard your wiring and equipment by melting or 'blowing' before the wiring, itself, melts and causes a fire. It is safe to use a smaller fuse than called for, but never, ever is it safe to use a larger fuse than called for.
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.
Can I use a 30 amp fuse instead of a 40?
This is not a good idea to do. Sometimes just that little bit of extra current that the 45 amp fuse will allow to reach the 40 amp load might be enough to destroy the device.
Can you use a 250v 15 amp fuse for a 125v 15 amp?
Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
What are the correct fuses to use in the fuse box of a peugeot 205 gti 1.9 1989?
fuse number 1 is 10 amp fuse 2 is 25 amp fuse 3is 25 amp fuse 4 is a spare fuse 5 is 10 amp fuse 6 is a spare fuse 7 is 20 amp fuse 8 is 25 amp fuse 9 is 20 amp fuse 10 is 5 amp fuse 11 is 5 amp fuse 12 is a spare fuse 13 is 5 amp fuse 14 is 15 amp
Can you replace a 7.5 fuse with a 5 or 10?
You cannot because a five amp fuse would blow because the original fuse was seven point five. and a ten amp fuse would not blow quick enough to save or even be safe to use it in whatever you are using it for.
My mercury manual says to use a 30 amp fuse for the blower motor however someone put a 20 amp fuse in. Would this cause my blower motor not to work?
The blower motor could stop working if it blew the 20 amp fuse. That's probably the worst that would happen. You should replace it with a 30 amp fuse, if that is what's called for in your manual.
Can you replace a 20 amp fuse in your car with a 25 amp due to the fuse keep blowing?
Yes you can but you are setting yourself up for a big problem. There is a reason the 20 amp fuse is blowing. By installing a bigger fuse it allows the current that is causing the 20 amp fuse to blow to stay in for a longer period of time. This can cause excessive heating and melting of the wires on the circuit that is blowing on a 20 amp fuse. Trace the wire and find the fault. Always use the manufacturer's recommended fuse sizing for your own protection.
What amp fuse do you use for a 1993 cavalier Z24?
This is a unclear question, and not easy to answer. In your fuse panal, their will be a range of fuses, from 5 amp, up to 30 amp. On your fuse panal cover, should be a digram of your fuse panal, and which amp fuse goes into which slot.
Will it work if you replace a 1.25 amp 125 volt fuse with a 1 amp 250 volt fuse?
Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.
