Help! Car Won't Start!!!

So I was driving back to school and the car was running fine. I got to school and parked the car and shut it off. Then I went to unlock my doors and they wouldn't unlock. Then I noticed none of the interior lights were on either, so I tried to retstart my car and it wouldn't even crank. I tried jumping it, but the car won't jump either. Some help would be much appreciated, this is pissing me off.

Sounds like the battery. Try charging it

Maybe your battery is low on water

If the battery is drained that bad it will take a good charging before attempting to start. Sometimes a jump is not enough.

It actually turned out to be the 80A main fuse was damaged. It wasn't blown, just melted some. Does anyobody have any idea why this would happen?

Just keep a close eye on the replacement fuse to see if it does anything similar again.

What designation # was the fuse ?? (not amperage rating)

Anything electrical added to car ??
