You're never suppose to replace a lower amp fuse with a higher amp one.Its a 10 amp for a reason.A fuse is in place to prevent wiring,switches,and the component from getting burned up,its a purposely placed weak spot put there to prevent this from happening.If a fuse blows,its because there's a short somewhere in that circuit and when you activate the turn signals,the switch closes its contacts to complete the electrical path so the lights will come on.Look for a bare wire between the fuse and relay,relay to switch,or switch to turn signal bulb sockets.If a wire isn't shorted,the problem is in the switch,bulb socket,or bulb.A relay is normally used in a circuit that requires more amps than what the typical circuit draws.Its also a on/off switch.If a relay is defective,it will either cause the component to not work at all or the component will run non stop,never shutting off.The reason the higher amp fuse let the lights work at first instead of it blowing too is related to resistance

There is a reason why certain amperage fuses are used where they are. To keep from burning up wiring and other things. IF you blew a 10 amp fuse, then you have a problem, and using a stronger fuse then allowed the current to melt other things instead of the fuse.

The wires can carry a lot of current and even to the point of melting wiring, if something grounds, like a shorted circuit.

You see, when current goes normally, it is only what the object being used needs. Let's say your radio in the car. If it uses 1 amp of current, that is all that will pass, but a fuse might be put in line, that is 2 amp, to stop your radio from getting more in case of a shorted wire. If the current gets above the 2 amps of the fuse, the fuse melts, and stops the current. Putting in a 5 amp fuse would then destroy the radio if there was a short.

When a wire that carries current is suddenly "grounded", the current is no longer just 1 amp or 5 amps, but instead, it goes wild and will max out, at very high amps, and this is what burns out the wire. Without a fuse to stop the high surge of amperage, the wire cannot carry it all and it gets very hot, and melts the rubber, thus causing even more damage, as the wire then could also touch metal near by.

The point is, Never install a larger amp fuse in place of the one designed for it. IF the fuse melts, you have an electrical short somewhere. have it looked at, before you burn up your car.

It worked all the up to where it got to hot and fired the circuit Hope it didn't melt any other wires in the harness If it did you need another new one You also fried whatever they controlled.

Can't tell you a fix or cost need make model yr city for that. You have to now trace the wires and see what you screwed up Then install new components and wires to connect them and put a new 10 amp fuse

Want a good way to screw up your own bike take a low amp fuse and replace it with a high one and watch it melt.

Hope it helps

There's reason why it is 10 amp instead of 25 and that is to damage the fuse first before others like the relay. Now you have to replace the relay and hope that it is the only one affected

You have a short in the harness somewhere ,If you dont find the short YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A MELTDOWN THE WAY YOU ARE GOING ,You need to get your meter and check all the post wires and find the one that is grounded out B-4 yoou dont have a motorcycle to ride .

Fuse sizes are related to the wire size they feed. You probably melted the insulation on the wires as well.

Lucky you didn't melt the thing to the ground. You NEVER put in a larger fuse then it came with - NEVER.

It started smoking what would in need to replace and i put a 25 in their because my dash lights werent working and they did when i switched it does anyone know whats the cause of that and why it worked when i switched it
