Have you checked all the down-stream fuses too? Most items that are powered via F105 then have their own sub-fuse, so if a module is faulty, like an injector etc. then it would normally blow it's own (lower rated) fuse and not F105.

For 105 to blow there is either a large fault current to a path not protected by a sub-fuse (and there's very few of those), an aggregate current generated by multiple modules (like multiple failing modules!) or a chaffed wire with a short to ground.

I would have gone straight to my standby answer for a fault like this and said ignition switch but that's a new part. Maybe check around the wiring loom near the switch for a chaffed wire?
