putting a higher amp fuse in place of the factory fuse is dangerous. You could set your car on fire.

If a fuse blows, it means there's a problem in the circuit that needs to be found and fixed.

Also, is the blower motor coming on??? If the compressor is engaging and the blower motor is on but still no cold air, you'll need to check the charge in the system and check for a possible blockage.
