2004 Chrysler Sebring. No headlights, wipers and battery is drained.

Sounds like an alternator issue. Could be corroded wires at the battery also. When the voltage gets low, things like these will shut down first. Having the flasher on for five minutes won't drain the battery. Jumping the battery put it above the shut down threshold. Have the charging system checked, before replacing the multifunction switch.

most likely to be a fuse follow this link may help

Check the condition and tension of the alternator drive belt. Have a test done on the alternator as it appears that there is insufficient current to cover the large current draw for the lights.

it may or may not be the starter itself, find out if there is anything else that runs off that fuse and track down all ground wires associated. if all the grounds are connected, you've got a bare or broken wire. probly best to take to a reputable auto electric shop.

with the battery fully charged, you need to check the alternator, but first make sure all of the battery connections are clean , and tight,, with a multimeter, set the meter to DC volts,, place the red lead on the positive battery post, and the black one on the negative post, with the car running, you should get a reading of no less than 13.5 volts, if not you have a bad alternator,, if the reading you get is between the 13.5 and 14.5 volts your alt is fine, and you have something else draining your battery ., but keep in mind that if the cables were in bad shape , the alternator couldn't supply the power back to the battery with the loss it had while starting the car , here is a good link to see how to check the cars electrical system
