Every switch is a fuse if it is not rated bigger than the fuse that feeds it.
And.. I've seen some switches with very "Generous" ratings.
For example. A common toggle switch sold at one popular store is rated 20 amps. (10 would be a better rating)
Also some switches have different AC and DC ratings.
Of course, if it's the light in the switch that is popping.. (The switch still works but no light no more) there is a solution.
I have a stock of LED indicators, these are 12 volt LED assemblies that are mounted in a plastic tube about a quarter inch in diamater (NOTE ABOUT) and an inch and a bit more long.
One end has a lense, and a metal ring, Then the white plastic tube with the leads coming out the other end.
You drill a hole. Slip it in and slide a spring nut (Speed nut) over the leads and onto the tube.. Push it up to hold it, Wire the light to the switch so when the switch is on the LED is on (Hook the black lead to any handy ground)
These last a long, long time.
NOTE: there are many simular LED assemblies on the market. I get mine at an electronics parts store,, The kind of place Joe's TV might shop.
