What's the worst thing that could happen?
So the fuse to my heat motor relay keeps blowing. So I'm thinking about putting a 10a fuse in instead of the regular 7.5a again... What's the worst thing? Curious...

I have a 64 Mustang in the shop right now, with a $1000 wiring repair bill, because the owner installed a "bigger fuse".
If the fuse is blowing, it means the blower motor is burning out, it does not get better, it only gets worse, the load gets "bigger" and eventually becomes a dead short.
It is actually better to have an instant dead short then one that builds, [more time for wiring to heat up] and when you install a bigger fuse, it can handel an even bigger load, more heat, then all of the sudden, PUFF, the wire insulation is hot enough to burn, if your real lucky, only that one lead is damaged, circuit broken before other wiring shorted, re:
