You either have a "jiggly short," a component is failing, or you're right on the line, amperage wise, of the fuse. You can either screw around guessing, or you can buy an inductive ammeter, like mine, and just clamp it around the circuit right at the fuse, around the feed to the fan, the feed to your signals, etc. and see not only what they are drawing cold, but what they draw when they're hot. Your electric fan does not always draw the same amperage -- there can be quite a difference as the temperature rises.
