I pulled the 40A blower motor fuse (which seems to only affect the interior blower on high speed only, lower speeds still work) and put it in the ignition A spot and she started rite up. all my codes went into history instead of current.
you only found the fuse that blew. now you must find out why. make sure the fuse amp is the proper amount. don't put a 40 in a 20 etc...

when the engine don't crank the last thing I thing of is getting the scanner out.

also when you turn the ignition to crank and the dash goes out that is a power problem. not surprised that the dealership was way wrong ! good luck finding the short.
