Default Car wont start

every once in a while id have to tamper with the starter signal plug going to the starter because the car wouldnt start due to a loose connection, well i made the connection nice and tight a few days ago and everyhtings been fine, then last night, every time i would start my car up the car start sounded a little weaker as if the battery was dying, but it wasnt, thewn when i got home i let the car sit, went to start it and it just kept cranking but wouldnt start, so i made sure very connection and all the plugs were snug, tried starting it and still just kept turning over until the battery was getting very weak, now this monring, i went to start it and it didnt so much as even click when i turned the key, so i cheked some fuses and the starter signal fuse was blown, i put that in and went to start it, still not even a click, i undid the harness on that side and re did everything and now it continues to crank but wont start, WHY WONT IT START?!

Check your battery. Might be flat since you tried starting it so many times. You also want to avoid that so it doesn't flood the engine.

Make sure the grounds are good too, because that is most likely why that fuse blew.
