The constant heat of near-high amperage which is what blows the fuse anyway will eventually cause it to trip at a lower amperage than when it was new.
Water will corrode a fuse and cause it to blow and low voltage on a circuit feeding a motor will drive the amps up, causing a fuse to blow when it would have been ok at normal voltage And corrosion on the fuse blades inhibits voltage. It lasts until it blows There is no need to replace it regularily. It will last for the lifetime of your car if no fault in the cars electric system occurs. Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
If the circuit is rated for 20 Amps you can use a smaller fuse as long as it doesn't blow when the circuit is loaded. The amp cigarette lighter fuse in Astra envoy is 15 amp fuse.
Always replace a fuse with the same type and rating. No, you could overload the wiring and start a fire. The purpose of a fuse it to protect the wire that goes to the load. A 15 amp fuse protects a 14 gauge wire. A 20 amp fuse protects a 12 gauge wire. To answer your question if the wire size is 12 coming from the 15 amp fuse now then it can be upped to 20 amp fuse.
If it isn't then you are taking the risk of overloading the 14 wire with a 20 amp fuse. This can lead to insulation failure of the 14 wire, overheating with the possible outcome of a fire breaking out somewhere in the circuit. Most branch circuits in kitchens are either 15 or 20 amp. Check the back of the fuse panel to make sure your putting the proper fuse in. But do NOT put a fuse to big in. So if your fuse panel calls for a 15 amp fuse, replace with 15 amp fuse.
The 13 amp fuse with blow at the lower rate to the 15 amp fuse. And At 15 amp the motor is normally more powerful - check the wattage used in both. Look behind the pull out coin draw about where your left knee is. Its the blue 15 amp fuse. Grab the fuse puller from the fuse box under hood and spare 15 amp fuse is there too.
The 15 amp fuse. It will draw over 18 amps and will blow a 15 amp fuse. There is one 15 amp fuse, one 10 amp and one 5 amp fuse. The electrical system that is on a car plays a large role in ensuring that everything is running efficiently. There are a number of different things in a car that will require a constant supply of electricity.
In order to make sure that these components get what they need, the car has to be equipped with fuses. A car will usually have a variety of different fuses that operate a variety of different components. The fuses in a car are used every time the car is ran. Like any other electrical component of a car, eventually the fuses will begin to show signs of wear. Usually, the fuses will not be checked during routine maintenance and will only require attention when they are blown.
The type of fuses on a car vary, which means that the way to check and change them will vary. The best way to reduce the damage that is done to the fuses in your car is by inspecting the actual fuse block under the hood. Over time, corrosion may start to set in and may cause connectivity issues. The faster you are able to catch these issues, the easier you will find it to reduce the electrical issues you face.
Have the fuse replaced by a professional mechanic so that no further issues arise in the future. Not having the electrical components of a car working properly can lead to a lot of issues and can make operating the vehicle more difficult. Things like the fuel pump and interior lights have a fuse that works to regulate the amount of power that is sent to them. If these parts of a car stop working, then the first thing that should be checked is the fuse box.
