A few days ago, car would start. Jumped it, still didn't start, but my battery booter packed didn't have enough juice, had to call for a tow, but a day before took it to sears athey said that the battery was good, but took it back and had them checked every thing, starter, the whold charging system, but again everything was good, but they did replaced a bolt in the cabal end, started right up, but yesterday morning, had it jumped again, didn't take it back to sears. Don't know why that's happening, if everything is good, but I've been blowing out 10amp fuses in the past 5 months, that controls the power antanten, power mirrors, chimes, door locks, ect. Could that be the issue?People are telling me there is a short in that power antenna, which make since, but it that the reason why I have to keep jumping my car?I did drove into a puddle of rain when I gotton caught in a rain strom, the issue started so after.

What I would do first is run the antenna up so you can have tunes, then unplug the antenna's power connector. If the electrical problems stop, replace the antenna. Also, since power accessories in the doors are involved, check for broken and frayed wires between the door hinges.
