Use a relay instead of directing all the power to the fuse.
So you run seperate fuses for seperate items, using the same switch.

Wiring a relay can be complicated without knowledge, and it can get a bit tricky if youre wiring a couple with the same switch.

You dont need a high rating fuse.
If the fuse doesnt blow. Then you dont need a higher rating fuse.
You should never really go up fuse ratings for anything. Unless you know components connected to that fuse have sufficient gauge wiring and is within range for the fuse so the electrical components dont burn out, or blow due to a spike.
