Taking off the battery cable never blows fuses unless there's major trouble (or you dropped it and it bounced around on the battery terminal). What they also might have done (if not what I just said) was to check the alternator first. It likely shorted and fried a bunch of fuses and some fusible links. Then they pulled the cable off. I'd look for a bad fuse link in the ignition circuit. The starter itself and it's major circuit seems unaffected so you can rule out some of that stuff. Look for a bad wire or burnt casing.

First I'd look for the bad link or relay then I'd take a look at all the fuses just to be safe and make sure someone hasn't tried plugging a low amp fuse into a higher amp slot.
