Re: unfused ignition has constant 12v....
If the fuse kept blowing you had/have a short.The blower motor is probably bad. By using a 60 amp fuse you probably just smoked the ignition switch. Your lucky you didnt cause a fire. UNhook the battery asap and start looking for the crispy parts. I would first check the ignition switch and its wiring. From there go to the fuse block itself.
