Can you replace a 30 amp fuse in mercury mountaineer with a 40 amp fuse?

No, you should never replace a fuse with anything larger. The fuse is designed to handle the capacity of the wire and the devices on the circuit; if the fuse keeps blowing it means that there is a fault somewhere on the circuit and the faulty device should be repaired/replaced rather than using a larger fuse. Using a larger fuse will result in damage to the wiring and possibly cause the vehicle to catch fire.
