The number by the description is the proper size for the fuse. The wiring is matched to these fuse sizes.
If you blow that size fuse then you have a problem that needs to be corrected.

This car either has serious electrical issues, or an ignorant owner.

You didn't buy a good car to start with. They need a lot of maintenance. You will need hands on help to maintain it.

BTW, fuse sizing is kind of a big deal. They have different ratings and mixing them *****-nilly can result in an electrical fire.
Correct this before proceeding.

You need to flip this fuse so that the 5 reads right side up. Right now the current is going through it backwards and it's not good for the car

Is this a joke or am I going to learn something new today?

Why me? I was just asking. In-line fuse holders do not have arrows.
