Switches stoped working

Can someone give me a reason why my nitrous switches would stop working. There were working fine, Idk what could cause them to fail.I have a inline fuse that goes to the 12 volt switched side that didn't even burn up.

I used an extra switch I had laying around using the same ground, and everything worked fine. Idk if I should just replace them and see if it does it again.

What is the current rating of the switches and fuse? What are the switches controlling?

Check the current rating on the switch. Switch should be at least 10 amps since your circuit is fused for 10 amps and doesn't blow. Plus, you may want to put the heater on a relay.

I checked the amps they were around 5 amps, i already have a relay on the heater as well. I'm just gonna install new switches and see if they weren't faulty switches or something.
