Clean the ground wire from the battery to the frame. Clean it at the frame connection. these can get corroded at that point. If it is corroded you will pull more amps. You could also put an amp probe at the fuse connection and see actual amps it is pulling by the fuse. It is possible that a piece of wiring in that circuit has high resistance do to corrosion, dirty connection etc. Clean all connections on circuit. Most circuits that need a slight increase in fuse size is do to engineering errror. You should not need to double size. If it is pulling 11 amps then you could put in a 12 amp fuse since it pulls high amps for short time. Trace wires and look for a suspicious wire. Smashed, discolored etc. Change it out if needed. With an amp probe connected; clean one terminal at a time and recheck amp pull. You will find the problem hopefully. If you have luck like I do, it will be the last connection you check!
