02 Blazer Has Power Won't Crank Won't Start

Went to start the truck, turned the key – dash lit up, fuel pump primed, turned the key all the way and nothing. Truck did not even try to turn over, headlights did not dim, no starter, no crank.

I checked/tested the following:

• Battery and terminal connections – good fully charged 12.3v
• Ran battery charger on slow charge 10-15 min (quick) to full 13v
• Wiring to starter – good
• Relay box under hood - has power
• Starter relay – has wiring diagram on it – tested good.
• Every ignition related fuse in the relay box – all good
• Every ignition fuse in the driver’s side dash fuse box – good
• I wiggled the ignition switch while turning every possible way – no crank
• I ran the gearshift lever through all the gears, tried to start it in neutral – no crank
• Rolled the truck a little, put in park – no crank

For some reason I decided to double check the # 24 RDO IGN fuse - it was fine. With the fuse still out I tried to start the truck and it STARTED!

I turned the truck off, replaced the fuse and the truck started again and, so far, ever since.

I do not think the # 24 fuse had anything to do with it; I just got lucky.

Can anyone think of anything else I should check?
