So I'll fix the blown fuse. It's the 50amp one that serves the AC and directional signals and the "Power network box: fuse E". What the hell and where the hell is that network box and fuse E????????

I may have self diagnosed this issue or at least a starting point. This whole issue started when I had a shop change out a shift link that broke in the steering column.

I will now disconnect the "air bag restraint" fuse number 5 under the dash ( as well as #1 and #7) and re insert a new 50 amp fuse. If it doesn't blow on start up I'll insert the other fuses until we get a blow out--sounds logical???????

I'd start by checking the wires that run into the ignition switch under the dash. One of them is probably pinched.
