Do you have a lot of things wired to the Ign fuse............gauges etc?
May have overloaded it....as for the not starting...check stuff like Staticlag said.... check to see if something came loose and is shorted...doess the new fuse blow again?
Look for another blown fuse or relay

well blowing a fuse is a short or drawing more amperage through a circuit than allowable ...for example wiring 2 HUGE foglights inthe same circuit as ur headlights...The fuse for your headlight is say 10A that means at 10A the fuse blows your headlights use 8A so thats roughly 2A leeway....ur Fogs take 5A of current draw....8+5=13A 13A>10A=Blown fuse....so if you wired extra things on that circuit then most likely causing more amperage to b drawn.......
EXTRA INFO: that example would b for a series circuit not paralllel which headlights would b wired in but just explains how electrical circuits work somewhat!
