If you have too many consumers on a line you'll melt the fuse. That's
what they are there for. If you put in a fuse with a higher melting
point (amp rating) you're asking for wiring problems and a potential
fire hazard. Stick with the amp rating recommended for the original
circuit.
On another note, I personally don't see how a pusher fan is going to
be much good if it only comes on when the AC clutch engages. The OE
fan comes on and stays on when AC is operating.
If your belt is not slipping, and you still have the screech, the
clutch is going out, or the compressor is starting to seize up. Take a
look at the clutch on the compressor with the car running and AC not
engaged. See a wobble? Clutch is on it last legs. From research I've
done, when the clutch goes, 60% of the time the compressor is not far
from heading south to join his buddy.
This is not a high priority for me. We get maybe a few weeks in August
where you might think "hey! AC would be nice!" The original AC still
works on my 87 5kq, but it obviously hasn't been used much.
It's been super cool in Nova Scotia this year. Got a sweater on as I
type :)
