One thing you can consider is makeing a whole new circuit of the battery using like ten or twelve gauge power wire, kind of like wiring up an amplifier. Then use a larger fuse in the inline fuse holder. You will just figure out how many amps the entire thing will draw, then use that as a base for how large of a fuse would be. Hold on...I will post you a picture of what I mean. I have quite a few extra goodies running in my car, so I made it's own little circuit.

i was gonna try the Arospeed red grounding cables to do that (except i would hook it up to the positive battery terminal instead). Should work i think... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Keep in mind that you need to check that Amperage rating of your switch as well. Most switched (especially smal toggle switched) are not designed for any significant current draw. I would recommend using the switch to supply the ground of a relay.
