Had a blown fuse under dash. changed it. but car will not turn over and dash lights dont come on
If the fuse blew, it may have been a symptom of a larger problem with your electrical system. I'd suggest testing your spark plugs, distributor and alternator, as well as jumping your battery. If it's not cranking at all, one of those should be the problem. A voltage multimeter is the tool to use; Walmart and AutoZone have them for $10-20.

first take the wire loose then under the hood there should be a fuse box there should be some big fuses 30 40 50 amp fuese one of them should be main fuse check it and all the rest of them

A little dificult solving this without actually being there..but you may want to check for trouble codes first. Also check the junction box in the engine compartment for corrosion. Remove it from its mounting and flip over so you can see under neath. Check for any corrosion in there.

The starter motor on a car takes a lot of energy, you may be able to use the radio but not have enough power for the starter. You also might not be able to start it because the motor's starter or it's relay is bad. So here's what to do:
Check the connections on the battery, try loosening the connections and moving them around a bit, then tighten them down good.
Next go try to start it up again. If it still doesn't respond, turn your headlights on and see if they are still bright. If they are, then I would look into the starter or the starter relay.
The relay is in a box somewhere under your hood, possibly with some motor related fuses. Take the cover off and look at the under side of it. The cover should have a sticker displaying which relays do what. Now look for the air conditioner relay. Check to see if the air conditioner and starter relays have the same number printed or stamped on them. ONLY if the numbers mach, put the air conditioner relay in place of the starter relay, and try to start it again.
If you still get nothing, then it is either a bad starter or wire somewhere. On this car it may be a bit difficult to find and reach, but try to get to the starter on the bottom of the car. You can find pictures online of what it looks like if you are not sure. Play with the wires and knock on the starter with something hard like a rock or hammer. It doesn't take too much to do it, even a firm punch can do it, just don't break it. If this works then the starter is bad and needs serviced or replaced.
If there is still no response after this, there is nothing more you can do unless you are capable of taking things apart and checking the wiring. Good luck!

your battery isnt holding enough charge to crank the starter.thats what the clicking is. try charging you battery for a good 8-10 hours, if it still does the same thing you'll need a new battery.
