If the oil looks like a milkshake then you shouldn’t even attempt to start it as he is probably right, but messing with fuses would not cause this in a short period of time like your stating, that happened before. Plus it also sounds like he inadvertently activated the security system, shut down procedure is listed in the owners manual that is specifically for your vehicle. Time for the professionals to get involved as headgaskets is not a job for the untrained.
