If the battery was bad and voltage was down...clicking starter fits and the blown fuse makes sense too. Radio still working ... heck mine was still working after I had an accident a tore the top off the battery.

 

If its a GM, the clicky starter is likely a stuck solenoid, though it seems very coincidental that it happened at the same time you blew the fuse. May I ask how you blew the fuse? (doing a little welding with your power cable?)

 

i blew the fuse while rewireing the power cable. i forgot to take out the fuse or disconnect the battery.

the car is a prelude.

I'm charging my battery charger right now and will try tonight to see if it works with a boost. hopefully it does.

I will also check the starter relay fuse.

 

you discharged the battery enough to blow the fuse, my money's on a dead battery.

 

for all the people that say it was a dead batterY, "YOU ARE CORRECT"


i boosted it at lunch time and the car starts perfectly fine.


thanks everyone.

 

Thats called a fried starter.
