Car wouldnt start...please help
So this morning i go to start my car and all i hear is a click then nothing. try it a couple more times and nothing. jump starting didnt do anything either. the dash lights lit up inside. seems to me like a dead battery but im not exactly sure. also, when i go to lock my car nothing happened. i tried all the buttons on the key fob but it was dead as well.

have you checked the terminals are clean and well connected? if they are then either charge the battery or get a new one.
check your trunk is closed and your interior dome light is set to off or door and not on.

UPDATE:
I just returned home and attempted to start the car again. It started up fine. the key fob unlocked and started fine. however now the DSC light is flashing as well as a solid traction control light is on. also, everything has been reset, the readio presets ect. im at a loss now.

Is it cranking but just not starting?
If so, it wouldn't surprise me if its flooded now.
If its not cranking, follow the negative cable down to the cross member, remove the bolt and clean the terminal.
Is this an MT?
If so, reach down to the clutch pedal and press in the interlock switch with your finger and try starting (no need to press the pedal in at this point).

and yes it is a MT
and in regards to the 120a fuse, could this be the culprit? how can you tell if its blown?
