Replacing a blown fuse with a higher amperage fuse is not a recommended solution. By installing a 15 amp fuse instead of the original 10 amp fuse, you are exceeding the electrical load capacity of the circuit. This can lead to overheating, damage to electrical components, and even a potential fire hazard.
Shifting Issue:
The issue with the car shifting past 2nd gear is likely related to a separate problem. It's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the shifting issue, as it could be caused by various factors such as a faulty transmission solenoid, a problem with the transmission fluid, or even an issue with the gearshift mechanism itself.
Recommended Steps:
1. Fuse Replacement: Replace the 15 amp fuse with the correct 10 amp fuse as specified for the circuit. If the fuse blows again, it indicates an underlying electrical problem that needs to be identified and fixed by a qualified mechanic.
2. Shifting Issue: Have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the shifting issue. This may involve checking the transmission fluid level and condition, testing the transmission solenoids, and inspecting the gearshift mechanism for any issues. Once the root cause of the shifting problem is identified, the appropriate repairs can be performed.
