Default car not starting

okay so i just bought a z a couple of days ago and drove it home now the car wont start. i searched to see if anyone else has this problem but i couldnt find anything. last night my car died so i put it on the charger it made a clicking noise but it wouldnt start, finally once i put a jump box on it it started up. so i thought the battery was no good and i bought a new one today, installed it still nothing it wont even click now. there is a 120amp fuse on the pos battery cable it appears that it is blown, is this my problem? and how do i take that fuse out?

Check to make sure your terminals and wiring going to the battery also do not have any issues. The clicking is definitely a symptom of a failing battery. Once you swapped it out, it should have solved your problem.

a 120 amp fuse doesnt just blow on its own... Did you reverse the leads on the battery or something?
