If it jump starts, the problem is probably either the battery or a corroded battery connection terminal.

were can i locate and replace a starter for a 1998 buick regal?
Look at the lower rear end of the engine - follow + battery cable
No,there is no circuit protection between the battery and the starter. If the starter is causing a dead short to ground, there is definitely something wrong with the starter. Pull it and have it checked. The switch that engages the high current is inside the starter. If the starter is fried and perhaps something melted to ground, every time you engage it you will get a dead short.
