remove the top plate and check the springs underneath.
these are the contacts for power to the joystick. make sure they are at 90 degrees from the plate. clean all the contact points and the ring inside the joystick with a pencil eraser to remove oxidation.
that switch is the same as any light switch the same size. nothing special.
buy at any rv store if they carry them in stock.
if you are blowing the fuse, you have a short in the harness somewhere.
i know that sounds obvious, but it could be a bad circuit board also.

I don't blow the fuse with the old switch, it is just hard to push to open and I thought I would just replace it before it fails on a trip. I replaced it with the same rating rocker switch which blows the 5 amp fuse. Springs and contacts are all clean and circuit board was replaced last year. Unless the new switch is shorted out some how internally? Also I am assuming that it should not make a difference where the wires from underneath are attached? There are just two leads.
