Default New and power less?

Hey everyone, new and already needing some help... Just moved on to my second Honda civic a 94 hatch import, went out today to start it for a bit as haven’t run this one in a while, pushed alarm button to hear a ticking from my door, and no flashing lights to tell me the alarms off, so turned off battery then back on again, nothing, had blown main 80amp battery fuse, replaced it but still no life, not even the lights will go on, absolutely nothing!!! ahhh help please!!!

it might be possible that the wiring harness was knicked, but the fuse should have been knicked instead. Check your battery terminals for corrosion.

Well all is sorted,kinda.... it turned out to be a loose connection from the lights in the end, ending up with hte 80amp duse going and a slow power drain, so in went a new battery and some duct tape and all i sorted!
