Keep blowing a fuse

I keep blowing the fuse for the windows and the power mirrors. I think its number 16 and needs a 10.

 

My problem is I do not have another 10 but I do have a 20.

 

I know nothing about electricity.

 

My theory is if I put the 20 fuse in it should not break.

 

Any ideas?

And the Weird thing is the windows still work with the fuse being popped.

 

i don't know about you, but the MC uses a circuit breaker, not a fuse, for the power windows...

Theres a reason why its a 10 amp fuse. That is the breaking point before the circuit will be damaged.

Putting a 20 amp fuse in there is asking for trouble. Yeah the fuse may not blow, but you could melt a wire and cause a fire.

 

Sounds like something is getting shorted to ground. Get a wiring diagram and start tracing wires.

Just put a penny in there, should solve your problem...

 

But seriously, are you sure its for the windows? If the windows work with the fuse blown then its obviously another circuit. Plus a 10A seems really low for power windows.
