Default 240 v fuse-12v fuse switch problem

Hi,
The glass type 5A fuse in the switch to my tiller pilot blew the
other day. The manual calls for a 12A fuse. Replaced fuse with one from
local hardware shop but switch wont function at all with this one. It
was a 15A 3AG or 3WG (will replace with 12A asap). Is this because it's
a 240V fuse? Are there fuses specifically for 12V DC? Have tried other
switches with fuse with same result.

Thanks for your advice in advance
