Welp, like ol @soundman98 said, "fuses don't work that way".

If you have 4 15 amp fuses in your dash light circuit, you might as wire them direct for all the good they would do.

I reckon a 10 amp fuse should regulate all of them OK.

I'm thinking you may consider taking your car into a auto electrical shop and have them straighten it out.

Also, you should find out what drained the battery and fix that situation.

Did you hear about the ol boy from Washington that was out hunting with his buddy in his old pickup truck. It was getting dark and the headlights wouldn't work. His buddy suggested he check the fuse. He did, found out it blew. His buddy suggested he insert a .22 shell in the fuse slot, so he did.

About 2 miles down the road, a shot rang out and the .22 round hit his buddy in the leg. His buddy shouted out - I meant for you to put a spent shell casing in the fuse slot!
