Can I replace a 15A fuse with something higher (safely)??
Last year, I decided to replace all my interior light bulbs with LEDs so everything would be brighter. And everything worked great, never had a problem. But now, I decided to replace my puddle lamps with LEDs and now I blow #15 or #16 fuse (whichever regulates all interior lights + radio) everytime. I guess I'm drawing too much current now with puddle lamps being LED (about 0.3A per side). I'm not sure how much current I'm drawing with everything else.
But if I replace the 15amp fuse with say 20amp, how unsafe is that? What kind of potential problems would I be looking at?
Any ideas?? Thanks for replying.
