I changed out my starter a few weeks back and since then, my cars been a paperweight. The lights and everything work, but when I try to crank my car. Nothing. Not a sound. I had a friend check my fuse box while I tried to turn over my car and he saw that the 50 fuse (starter relay/ignition switch) keeps blowing. Is this due to a faulty wiring issue? Im lost and Im at day 28 with no car. Help please.

I would suspect that you have something wired wrong. Did you mess with the solenoid next to the battery?

You have a main power feed wire touching ground somewhere. Check the wires at the main post of the starter.
