Exclamation Car has power, but nothing works

Well I finally got my car back, so I wanted to start removing the gauges, boost controller, and turbo timer. I started with the gauges, and everything was fine. I then removed the boost controller, and wanted to move the car real quick, but when I went to turn the key, nothing happened. I was thinking that since I wired it to the same source as the turbo timer, I could remove that, and everything would be fine. I took everything off around the ignition, and immobilizer area, and tried again. Still nothing. I thought that perhaps after all that, it was something as simple as a fuse, I looked and saw that my main power fuse was blown. I went ahead, and replaced that today, thinking it would solve the problem, and that still didn't do anything. Whats weird is that the little light inside the dash blinks like normal, and I could lock and unlock the doors just fine, but nothing else works. Now I've run out of options, and have no idea what the problem could be. I really don't want to have my car towed for the 5th time this year, so any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I prayed on it, and the answer came to me last night. It was the ignition key fuse. All is well. Hopefully I can go a few weeks without something else happening.
