yes two fuses in parallel will increase the amp rating but its not a good practice try to get the proper fuse!

Why are car fuses different colors?
for easier visual identification Each color is a different amp rating.
What do the difernt colour mean on blade or ceramic type fuses and circuit breakers?
Each color identifies the amp rating, yellow=20 amp, blue=15 amp and so on.
What causes blower motor to melt fuses?
blower moter coil windings shorted, motor spinning too slow than normal (increase current draw), short circuit in wiring, excessive amp or current draw in blower circuit than what is protected by amp rating fuse for that circuit. maybe even having too many loads (electrical devices on at once) especially if all these devices are connected in a parallel circuit and power is bridged.
Does attaching batteries in parallel increase their amp hours?
Yes, it does. I you have N batteries in parallel each batter supplies 1/Nth of the total current to the system. So basically each battery (and therefore the entire system) will supply power to the load N timers longer. Amp hours = Amp*hours, so if you multiply hours by N you multiply your Amp hour rating by N. Hope this helps. p.s. Amp hours do NOT add in series... basically because 1 Amp*hour = 3600 coulombs and it represents how much charge flows from the batter.
As you add more lamps to a parallel circuit what will the ammeter reading do?
If the amp meter is in series ahead of the first parallel branch of lamps the meter will read an increase in current.
What are the amps of the interior fuses on a 1992 explorer?
It is on the fuses. eg: 10 = 10 amp, 7.5= 71/2 amp fuse
What if you use 20 amp instead of 15 amp fuse with the same 250 volts in microwave?
In most cases the size of a fuse is not critical and so changing from 15 to 20 amp will not effect anything - BUT the function of a fuse is to destroy itself before some more expensive component gets destroyed by too high a current flow. As you raise the current rating of your fuses you increase the chances of negating their function,
Why would the tail light fuse blow after ten minutes of replacement after never having had a problem?
You may have put the wrong size fuse in your car, or you have bigger problems. Fuses are color coded by amp rating. For example, a blue fuse has a 15-amp rating, yellow is 20 amps and green is 30.
What way is used to connect batteries together to provide more current?
Connect them in parallel. They must be the same voltage and the same or similar amp-hour rating.
What size fuses are used in a 1970 Camaro?
5 amp,10 amp, 15 amp, 20 amp, 25 amp, and 30 amp.
What do each of the icons on a 1991 Pontiac Le Mans fuse box mean and how do you know what AMP fuses to use?
i do know what each of the symbols mean but you can tell what amp of fuses to use by looking at the top. you will find a number on there that you can use. just buy fuses with the same number. on that car they are either 10,20, or 30 amp fuses. i do not know what each of the symbols mean but you can tell what amp of fuses to use by looking at the top. you will find a number on there that you can use. just buy fuses with the same number. on that car they are either 10,20, or 30 amp fuses.
What is the 16 gauge amp rating?
That is 10 amp wire.
