New starter was replaced, and a new battery installed. When trying to start the car the 40a ignition/starter fuse blows. Battery is brand new and was fully charged at local auto store. Battery is completely drained now.

There must be a short in the wire or you got a bad starter. There is a chance the relay is bad here is the starter wiring diagrams so you can see, and I have included a guide to test the wiring.
