Can I replace a 20 amp fuse with a 25?

[AaronJ0072]

2020 Gladiator Overland and I have a dash camera with a back up battery plugged into the cigar/cigarette lighter. Any time I pull the cord to plug in something else like my rechargeable Maglight or tire inflator, the fuse blows. Does anyone know if I can replace the 20 amp fuse with a 25 inside the fuse box without risking a fire?

I wouldn't recommend it. Whatever is happening with your plug/socket to blow the fuse sounds like a direct short- and would blow a 25 amp as well. Your best bet is finding out why it is shorting out upon removal, and repair or replace that component.

Ok, John. Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it.
