If too many electrons go through the circuit too fast (Current measured in Amps) It can burn most things up. The idea is to get the fuse to blow (melt) so nothing else gets damaged. Do not ever wrap a fuse with tinfoil to make it work again. Do not ever put a penny in the fuse box of your house to make it work again. I guess this means someone will do it to be funny.

Can you use 250V 3.15A fuse to replace a 250V 3A fuse?

It's best if you just make a policy of never replacing a fuse with anything larger. Engineers have calculated the maximum SAFE circuit draw on an electronic device, and you should not use a fuse that will not provide adequate protection to the circuit. It sounds like .15 amp difference shouldn't cause trouble, but it's not a good idea.

How do you reset the circuit breaker on the cigarette lighter on a 63 ford falcon?

It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.
