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.

Have it towed to an expert.

He was already told this almost two months ago but didn't listen then so doubt he will now.
The "My car burned up and it is Subaru's fault" thread should come any day now.
