Default Fuse help please.

Hello. I have a 05 accord that I needed jumped. The interior of the car still had a little power. I had AAA come out to jump the car which didn't work. I replaced the battery but now the car has no power at all. I'm thinking it is a fuse. Does anyone know which fuse I should try to replace to resolve this issue?

Sorry for being a car idiot but I have no idea what I'm doing here. Any help would be great! TIA!

It may be the main battery fuse, located in the under-hood fuse/relay box, for your car it is either an 80A or 100A fuse. To remove it and replace it requires a philips-head screwdriver. It is held in with two screws. Disconnect negative battery cable first before you attempt to replace it, so you don't get shocked, etc. You can get this fuse at almost any auto parts store.

I will post the image in a short while.

This is from the owner's manual. Although this image shows it as a 100A fuse, check to see whether yours is an 80A or 100A and only replace it with the same amperage.

No problem. The AAA guy might of did something by accident, such as hooking the cables the wrong way and blew the fuse. Let me know how it goes.

Is the fuse is blown?

If so, you can pick one up at a junkyard. Like redbull said, make sure it is the same amperage.
