My windows go down by theirselves. I went to change the fuse. And now my car won't start. It will turn over but not start. I tried charging the battery. And still nothing.

Charging the battery is not needed if the engine turns over.

You are missing spark or fuel.

Too many variables to list / that could be the problem of the no start... re-trace your steps.

Windows going down by themselves is usually a door lock module issue or a wiring issue in the door jams.
