Parkers and tail lights stuck on

Hi all, I've got a TD42 GQ Patrol and when I switched the headlights off this morning the parkers stayed on. I thought it must just be the switch in the stalk so I pulled the fuse.... but they still stayed on. A couple of months back the tail light fuse kept blowing but only occasionally - sometimes it would last a couple of days sometimes 5 minutes. so I put a 15amp fuse rather than 10amp :oops: and it hasn't been a problem since.

My question is: would the extra 5amps on the fuse have allowed a wire to melt or blow something or could it be something simpler?
