I have a 1997 Civic, the break lights were not working so I checked the fuse first. The car calls for a 15A fuse and had a burnt 20A fuse in it. I replaced the fuse but only had another 20A and not a 15A so I went ahead and put that 20A in, I hit the breaks, it turned on for a millisecond and the fuse blew... Any ideas whats going on?
