There is the problem of the voltage regulator in the alternator going bad to lose control of the voltage that the alt can produce, the output voltage can rise to about 17V.
When you start the car and the battery voltage is low, the amperage
driven by the 17V can get to 50/70 amps, this blows the fuseable link, the current then turns to voltage around 850V that is still connected to the fuse box, so that all the units that were on at the time get fried and the relays get the contacts welded together.
The fusible link has to blow for this to be the case, if it did not blow, it is something else.
