Default blown starter relay

i have recently had the problem of blowing relays, the cube shaped fuse in the engine bay. the battery is fine, lights etc. all work, but the engine will not turn over, i know it's not the starter, but the last time i had this problem i switched the horn relay with the starter relay and it worked, problem happened yesterday, but this time not such an easy fix. i was wondering what the problem is and why this is happening?
thanks

Hi, did you ever figure this out?

My fan relay keeps blowing and It's causing the car to overheat and spew antifreeze everywhere

1MEANSNAKE, if you are still under
warranty, you might want to consider
taking it in for this. i don't think it's
serious, but if it's covered it's covered.
