should i put a inline fuse on my fan switch in my car?

i was wondering i just hard wired my fans and put a switch on the inside of my car. i have the power wire that goes from the fans to the switch and then since the switch lights up when its on i have a wire going to the fuse block. should i put a inline fuse on the wire going to the fuse block? i am having problems blowing fueses in the fuse block will this help?

i would recommend using a relay for powering the fan so as to minimize the amperage/wire you're running around the car...and yes...get a fuse for the relay
