Can you use 2 20amp circuit breakers to protect to 40amp?

No, it is not safe to use two 20 amp circuit breakers to protect a 40 amp circuit. Circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring in a circuit from overheating, and using a higher amperage circuit breaker than the wiring is rated for can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to use the correct size circuit breaker for the amperage rating of the circuit.


How much outlet to 20 amp breaker?

No. Receptacle is rated at 15 amps and the wire that feeds it will also rated at 15 amps. Since it will take 20 amps to trip the breaker the wire will be become overloaded. The above is true only if it is a single dedicated outlet. You can use 15A duplex outlets on a 20A circuit, ie: kitchen and dining room outlets per the National Electrical Code.

The main fuse panel is at the left end of the dash and there's a fuse/relay box under the hood above the left front wheel well. Check both panel covers. The outlets are on a 20amp circuit, so if you don't find any labels, check all the 20amp fuses for a blown one.
