The breaker for the blower switch popped and will not reset. I jumped the breaker using a 10amp blade fuse. The switch and blower operated fine for several minutes and did not blow the fuse. Based off this test I’m thinking the breaker just went bad????? Has anyone else experienced a bad breaker? Or could I have a problem on the blower fan circuit?
 
You'll have to grab a capable multimeter and test the blower amp draw. i.e, see if it's anywhere close to 10amp.
 
Yes, I have experienced this, on the bilge pump no less!!! Breaker tripped and would not reset. new breaker fixed issue. They do go bad. If the switch was not blown It's almost certain your current draw is fine. 10Amps is a high bar for some handheld voltmeters (My el cheapo voltmeter has a separate unfused lead for testing over 2amp draw, so verify your multimeter will survive the test. If it was me, I would feel confortable as you have confirmed with the fuse that all is well.
