More than likely there is nothing else in that circuit.
Unplug your wiper switch, new fuse, key on- check the fuse (more than likely its ok still). Then plug in your switch again, it will probably blow.
Cliffnotes = Wiper switch is internally grounding, replace switch.
If that don't work, trace the wiring from the fuse box to the switch. Rubbing wires to ground. Since you smelled that "electrical burn" smell I say its the switch.
