2,11,8,16

Im replacing all of the fuses on my car, because I figure its cheap insurance (<.50 each)

Im at the main box, and all of the fuses that I replaced mached up... EXCEPT fuse #s 2, and 11. Both of them had the white 8 amp fuse, and the cover says they should have the red 16 amp fuse... #2 is for the blinkers, wiper blades, radio, and cig lighter. # 11 is for the low beam right, and the fog lights (fog light) means only if it has fogs, right? Mine has fogs, so i should have a 16 amp in it, right?

What should I do?

*EDIT*everything worked correctly with the wrong fuses, except the heater because the fuse was blown*EDIT*

Thanks alot
~Nate

Put the recommended fuses in.

Lower rated fuses will blow sooner so someone may have done that 'cause they were nervous or just didn't have the correctly rated fuse.

beware of fundamentalists!

8 amps are to low for that circuit, the cover is correct. Check you
Owners manual if you have one, it’s your cars bible.

yeah thats what I was thinking because theese fuses are so hard to find around me unless you order online.

Thanks alot, I appreciate it

Whunter pointed out a good online source for fuses. High-quality brass/copper fuses. $1.50 for a pack of ten

Yeah, it is OK to use the recommended fuse. Like 420SE said, it may be they were nervous (if they had trouble with that circuit before), or they did not have a proper amp fuse.

It is always better (safer) to use a lower amp fuse than a higher amp fuse than it recommended. Using a higher amperage fuse than what is called for is very dangerous for your automobiles electrical system, but I am sure that you probably already knew that.
