15amp fuse in 10amp slot

So my cigarette lighter (accessory power) becomes inoperative due to the 10amp fuse opening. Perhaps this is due to playing a dvd movie and plugging power into the acc outlet (very rarely do I play dvd movies it the car), or pressing the cigarette lighter into the acc. outlet (for fun since I do not smoke.)

My solution to this is to put in a 15amp fuse for acc. outlet, but the label for fuse port 30 is clearly marked for 10amp. Will it hurt anything to have a higher rated fuse in there??


Thanks,
