Not safely. Using a high amp fuse can cause an electrical fire. Better to find the problem and fix it!

You won't know there is a problem until you melt wires in the circuit or, as FOR said, start a fire. A higher amperage fuse allows more current to flow through that circuit which it is not designed to handle. The result is heat build up and potential disaster. Don't do it.
