ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!!! Fuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating which can result in damage to the conductors, and worse, the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle. When a fuse, and its replacements, repeatedly blow, is an indicator of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit. To install a larger fuse would invite damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire. The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she's doing, to * troubleshoot the circuit, * find and identify the defect, and * make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse for the circuit].

Your 1986 ford is over charging and blowing up your battery?

My horn on my ford contour wont stop blowing when you put the new battery in it?

You may have the wires for your horn crossed with the battery wire. This would cause the horn to go off any time the battery is connected.


How do you stop a fuse from blowing when you hook up the battery?

While hooking up a battery make sure to connect the positive cable first, then the ground. If you have been doing it that way and you have a fuse that keeps blowing you have a problem in the circuitry after the fuse. Some short in the wiring or problem with a device is causing the fuse to blow ( thankfully ) rather than destroy something else or completely drain your battery.

Your battery and alternator need attention. It sounds as if the charging is faulty and your battery has degraded.


What would happen if the meter leads were connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery while the meter and leads were set to read amperes?

If the meter leads are connected to the positive and negative terminals of a battery while set to read amperes, it would create a short circuit condition. The ammeter, designed to measure current, would allow a large current to flow through it, potentially damaging the meter or blowing its internal fuse. Additionally, it could cause overheating or even a fire hazard, depending on the battery's output and the meter's specifications. Proper usage of the meter requires it to be connected in series with a load, not directly across the battery terminals.


Why would your 1994 Mitsubishi galant keep blowing the 20 amp fuse?

it could be lots of things: Look at the inside cover of the fuse box and see what the 20amp fuse is connected to, this is the component that is causing the problem. Eg. if the fuse that keeps blowing is connected to the heater then the heater is the problem you need to fix. ONE HELPFUL STEP YOU CAN TAKE HERE IS TO CHECK THE DEVICE/EQUIPMENT THE FUSE RELATES TO AND CHECK IF IT OPERATES WITH A 2NDARY 12V SOURCE. IF IT DOES NOT, REPLACE THE PROBLM DEVICE/EQUIPMENT. IF IT WORKS, SUSPECT THE WIRING OR CONNECTOR. REPLACE AS NEEDED.
