What happens when you put the wrong fuse?

Fuses are present to protect the components of the electrical system. Rather than destroying the circuit when there is a surge of power, the fuse blows to protect it. If you use a fuse with the wrong amperage, the fuse won’t blow as intended, damaging the circuit and resulting in a much larger repair bill.

There is no fuse between the battery and the starter. There may be fusable links going to the fuse panels.
