yeah i tried 3 fuses but everytime i turn the key it pops? any ideas

are you 100% sure your putting the correct fuse in?

Yea if you replace fuse that is not correct voltage it will just burn out instantly, is your radio not working either, has it blown the fuse for that, if so could be a power surge, could be wires touching each other or loose battery clamps ?

I had simlar prob had blown 2 fuses and when I changed one it kept blowing, I then checked all other fuses and found the second one, I replaced that then the first fuse and it was fine after that... Dunno what difference it makes but it did for me... Can't remembe which fuses it was but just have a quick look throu them all... Also like said before myt be worth having a quick look over the connections on ya battery, check the clamps are tight and check ya earthing cables

i had a similar problem but i did same as beano i just checked them all and found 2 were blown n one was just pure manky
