I only use my Sebring convertible in the summer months so as we approach the good weather I went out to try to start it. The battery appeared to be dead so I jump started it and brought it into the garage to charge the battery. Put it on a charger for an hour and reconnected it (slight spark when I did) and when I turned the key I got nothing. I noticed a 20amp fuse for the ignition was burned out so I replaced it. When I tried to start it this time, everything electrical was dead. No lights, ignition; nothing at all. I tried reconnecting the battery terminals but still nothing. Could I have blown something else that would cause a complete power failure? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you hooked the battery backwards hard telling, there is a starter relay inpower dist center and fuse 8 is for the starter. It cold also be the automatic shutdown relay as well so try changing it with a like relay. One other thing it may be anit theft as well look online to reset it if you don't know how or have a manual.
