if a fuse blows every time you turn the key on then that circuit is shorted to ground severely....

unplug ecm take BOTH battery terminals off then see if there is a circuit from the fuse (toward the fans side of circuit)
to any ground in the engine bay area (like the disconnected negatve terminal) with a multimeter on setting OHMS a $10 one from supercheap etc will be fine for this test...

if there is any circuit there its pinched or rubbed or cruched onto the body somewhere

you will need to fix this short circuit before chasing anything else

if engine light isnt on on ignition on it means the ecm is not powering up and so no spark and immobilised etc etc list goes on, so fix this first....

right that is a little crazy for a no strating/cranking fault

like you had a failed dfi and an immobiliser issue with the key and or drivers door lock...strange but possible

If you have to lock then unlock the doors with the remote to start it, then that simply means you key head is not making contact with the metal ring... I am getting the impression that you removed it
