That is ABSOLUTELY the wrong thing to do. You need to bring the car to a shop and have it looked at by someone who knows what they are doing. You are going to cause MORE damage to the car with your actions. Putting a fuse in with twice the current capacity after the original one blows is the WORST thing you can do. You are literally doing the exact opposite of what the fuse is intended to do - stop an electrical overload from frying electronics, melting wires, or starting a fire.

You need to stop driving the car, and bring it somewhere to be serviced. If your car catches fire and burns, and your insurance company finds out you doubled a fuse, they could very easily deny your claim on the basis of negligence and intentional misuse.
