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.

Can I replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse in the AC?

No, you cannot replace a 10-amp fuse with a 20-amp fuse. Fuses are meant to guard your wiring and equipment by melting or 'blowing' before the wiring, itself, melts and causes a fire. It is safe to use a smaller fuse than called for, but never, ever is it safe to use a larger fuse than called for.


Is there a reset switch on an automobile for a fuse that keep blowing out?

No, if it has a fuse then that is the protection for that circuit. If the fuse keeps blowing then you are either using too small a fuse or you have something wrong with that circuit. Short inn the circuit or it is overloaded. Make sure you are using the correct size fuse and do not use a larger fuse than required.
