So my car sat for awhile and wasn't maintained unfortunately. It drove before it sat with no issues but an oil leak we fixed. Now it wont run, wont jump, I replaced the battery and no change. I saw that my battery fuse (100A) was blown so I replaced that, and it blew right away! Thinking it was because I didnt disconnect the battery, I tried again, this time with the battery disconnected. No luck! I would love pointers on what to look for and where next, read something about a loose positive cord possible but im not sure where to look. My drivers side under the dash wiring also seems to have a loose connection but I can't find where it is supposed to go!

Any help would be great, the car is officially veeerrryyy close to having a lot more work needed than it was worth...

 

With the fuse blowing, there is an electrical short. Check the white power cable going from the under-hood fuse box (T101) to the alternator (T102). If it is touching ground, it will blow the fuse.

 

If you have a bunch of loose connections, tape them off if you can't find the connection yet. You don't want it shorting out something either.
