This problem happened 3 months ago, mi car had a click sound, I jump it but don't work, ( the battery was god, the lights too) at first time I shake the key and it start. A day, the fuse start (20 amp) get burned, I change it for a 25 amp. (It work, not burn again). This happened every 3 days or 4 days but after this I have had to hit the start with a metal thing and then it started.
So I need a new start or the connection or the battery.

I wouldn't use a higher rated fuse. Make sure the battery has a full charge and the battery cables/wires are all clean and tight on both ends.

Usually if you have to bang on the starter to get it to work, it's a faulty starter. I can't rule out a bad connection somewhere?
