1998 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Automatic

My car wouldn't start so I went to autozone and had my battery tested and had it replaced. Still wouldn't start so I took in my starter and had that tested and it was fine. Replaced my starter fuse and it started right up. Drove it to the store and back and it wont start again and the starter fuse blew out. I replaced it 2 more times but wont start just blows out. I have a 500 watt amp and a sub connected but I took out the fuse, so its disabled and shouldn't have anything to do with it.

You need to look for short to ground on the crank fuse circuit.

I just noticed while I was messing with the wires that I loosened a spark plug wire I pluged it back in and put in a new fuse and it started right up. Tried starting and stoping 5 more times and it seems fine. Havn't driven it yet its 2am but I will try tommorrow, could a loose spark plug wire be causing the whole thing?

Could a loose spark plug wire be causing the whole thing? You must have touch a wire to remove the short-a plug wire loose will not cause the crank fuse to blow.
