Okay, so the number 1 fuse, is this a Convertible model? I see a number 1 fuse 40Amp, and just so you know, I have seen these vehicles with a ton of electrical problems, So I don't think this is a PCM issue, but if this was the Fuse 1 40amp that was popping, let me know, it's also possible the GPS box was causing a drain. The power and ground wires to that box should have a plug that can be unplugged from the box for now to eliminate that from this issue.
But let me know if this is a convertible or not, just because it's not popping that fuse right now, doesn't rule out a wiring issue, the wiring harness moves and vibrates while you're driving and short circuits can come and go, as for right now the vehicle has been sitting. What's going on with the security light, is it staying on right now?
Its really strange that the mechanic wouldn't give you the codes, that to me points to someone who might be trying to take advantage of you. I have seen mechanics leave ignition coils unplugged under intake manifolds, and other strange stuff that can't happen by itself, so it might be that he was just trying to get more money out of you. I have quit working for shops because of that reason before.
And with all these PCMs being replaced where they programmed by someone? Each new computer needs to be programmed to the VIN of the vehicle or it won't start. If the security light is staying on, that might be why. It takes a higher end scan tool to program PCMs. You can't just plug one in and it will work.
