None of the fuses are blown. It started doing it after i drove the car for an hour, it sat for 10 minutes and would not restart, After an hour I tried again and it started. The same evening it did it again but started after 30 minutes of sitting. Then today I drove it for 10 minutes, sat for 5 and it wouldn't restart.
There might be a ground wire loose or any of the positive wires coming off the battery might also be loose or coroded. That can also be part of your prior fuse problem. If its the same fuse that blows, that could be where your entire problem existes.
SOURCE: i have an intermitent problem. 06 xb, will start

SOURCE: why do the fuses on my scion xb keep blowing?
Did you check to make sure the fuses are the right rating to begin with. Fuses are rated by amperage and disconnect the circuit or "blow" if there if the circuit is shorted out (+ touches - or vice versa) or a device or circuit draws more amperage than the fuse is rated. Did you buy the vehicle new? If not then there may have been modifications. Does is have the stock radio? Does it have an amp or subwoofer? Driving lights? There is also a fuse block with relays and fusable links under the hood. Refer to the owners manual and verifiy all the components in both fuse blocks are of the correct type and rating. Physically remove and inspect every related fuse and make sure no one has "jumped" a fuse by wrapping it in foil or ataching a solid wire across the connection. If all that works out ok, have the voltage reguator checked as it is regulates a constact rate of power to the car. If is is allowing momentary surges, it is possible that it could exceed the cirucit ratings especiallly on the 10 and 15 amp circuits that most of your accessorys and lighting use; Good Luck.
SOURCE: my 2005 xb won't start and when you put your foot on the brake it is tight and won't move
The tightness of the brake is normal. as the servo doesn't work until you run the engine. It could still be the battery as the radio only takes a small amount of power, whereas the rngine needs a lot more, get it checked by an electrician.

check the gear sensor that activate when pressing the brake pedal
