There should be several 15 amp fuses. What you have described has me confused. Can you be specific on which circuit?

Thanks... Does the engine crank when you jump the circuit or do you still have to turn the key?

Based on your description, you need to check for shorts in the power distribution box under the hood. It sounds like the power supply is being disrupted before it gets to the switch itself.
