Add up the amperage draw of all the things connected to the accessory fuse and you will probably find that it is more than the capacity of the fuse itself.
Most times external amps are directly wired to the battery with a separate inline fuse for protection, the amp is turned on by a signal from the receiver via the din cord.
My wife and daughter do it all the time at home, 2- 12 amp blow driers on a 20 amp circuit is way too much, the amp draw of all the accessories shuld be 20% below the fused amp protection. That does not mean put in a larger fuse either, the wires that carry the current are also designed to only carry that amount.

Can you replace a 20 amp fuse in your car with a 25 amp due to the fuse keep blowing?
No, it is not safe to replace a 20 amp fuse with a 25 amp fuse. The fuse is designed to protect the circuit from overloading, and using a higher amp fuse can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to troubleshoot and address the underlying issue that is causing the fuse to blow rather than increasing the fuse rating.

Your 1990 Chevy lumina keeps blowing the DIS 10 amp fuse when i turn the ignition on. someone please help me?
If the 1990 Chevy Lumina is blowing the DIS 10 Amp fuse when the ignition is on, check to make sure that all wires coming from this fuse are grounded properly. Also check to make sure the starter is wired properly. There could also be a loose wire in the dash near the ignition.
