Fuse issue

Hello-new to group! Thank you for your help! I have a 2001 F350 SuperDuty, and the #8 fuse (under the hood) keeps burning out. It is a 15 amp fuse - is it ok to use a 20 amp?

Only if you wish to risk letting the magic smoke out of your wiring.

No. Fuses only blow when something is broken. Find the problem.

You only ever replace a fuse once...
Sometimes stuff happens. Find and fix the problem.
The fuse is the magic smoke preventer.
