The fuses have a number assigned to them, on the fuse panel cover and owners manual. Is it # 19,20, 21, 23? Those are the 40 amp fuses in the panel under the hood.

It's the fuse located under the hood. It is # 40A it says the fuse is IG Main 40A when I look in the owners book

19 is the starter relay that may not be resetting, also the ignition switch (electrical on the column opposite ign cylinder) it may be hanging up not letting the car know that its been fully turned off. 20 is the accessory delay relay, if it sticks it will keep things like the radio on. 21 is a main power to other functions in the central junction box(underhood fuse panel). 23 and least likely is the blower motor. The ignition switch is the most common cause of this type of no start condition.
