Fuses are sized according to the size of the wires they protect. When you put a bigger fuse in that what the wire is good for, you risk damaging components, melting wires, and even starting a fire!

Using a 50 amp fuse versus the specified 40 amp fuse should not cause a major problem. But, I'd install the specified fuse as soon as you can.

When replacing the battery I inadvertently reversed the positive & negative terminals. The 50A alternator fuse is burned out I suspect because of my mistake. I tried putting a 40A fuse in its place...

Yeah, all fuses need to be according to mfg specs, you can go the next size bigger (not really reccommended) but never go smaller. You should have several different places for fuses and you probably need to go through them all. My car has 3 different places for fuses (engine and inside car) so check your owners manual for the locations and sizes of all. There really shouldn't be any other pending problems, thats why you have fuses, to protect the electrical components from such a mistake. Good luck.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/matthew_d24b835e574ef6ca
