I work at Home Depot in the electrical department and I am amazed at how many people think that you can "fix" an electrical problem by increasing the amperage of your fuse of circuit breaker.

I've seen customers buying a fuse and an hour later they are back in the store buying a higher rated fuse. And then they wonder why their house burnt down.

BTW, Since MB fuse boxes are known to have connections that corrode, is it ok to run a steel brush across the connections? What I mean is that if I'm running a steel brush across them and I happen to hit 2 or 3 connections simultaneously, will it do any damage or do I need to disconnect the negative terminal on my battery first?
