It will run with a 10 amp ok, cos in normal running and operation the amps are quite low. It only becomes stronger as more things are used/switched on. Fuse ratings are, as a rule of thumb, slightly higher than the full current flow to be expected of that circuit so as to prtect the wiring.
A 10 amp fuse is even safer than a 15 amp.

sometimes fuses just blow, and the reason can be a spooky mystery never to rear its head again.....
Normal causes are chaffed live wires earthing to the body or engine somewhere. Just check there are no pinched wires anywhere.
You haven't recently fitted a stereo or anything have you?
