Sounds like you used your ammeter as a fuse.
All circuits - except the ones you mentioned - get power via the
ammeter and then the fuse block. In the event of a short in the
harness or a fuse not blowing fast enough, the wiring inside the
ammeter becomes a fusible link.
You can try shorting out the ammeter and see if that gets you
going, but _something shorted out to cause this to happen_ and
the ammeter probably sacrificed itself to save the rest of your
car from a meltdown. Jumpering it will just reactivate the short.
