Default No power after replacing fuse

Our right headlamp cover was not raising. Took a look at the manual and replaced #3 fuse. Great!... headlamp raises again. Took the car out a couple of hours later, everything is fine. Stopped, erand, restarted..fine. Stopped, erand...then absolutely nothing. Got a jump, great, charged for 10 minutes went home turned car off and it won't restart. Did our somewhat newer battery get drained from the headlamp issue? Not even the key "clicker" works. Please help.

You should perform a battery drain test as detailed in several threads on the forum. This will isolate any circuits placing abnormal loads on the battery. Also, check your battery terminals for corroson and make sure they are torqued as required. Good luck with your troubleshooting....

Review this post, yes it's long but there is a lot of information here and you should find the procedure on how to do a leak down test. Curlee's Electrical

What does that mean, 'our somewhat newer battery?'

What brand model battery is it?

So, if you jump the car, did it start?
