Hey folks...I posted about a no start no crank issue I'm having last evening. I had the battery tested and it's good. Replaced the starter and had the new one tested before leaving AutoZone. Put it on and still have a click at the relay but that's it. I checked all the fuses and found a 30 am maxifuse blown. I replaced it and tried to start it and it blew the new one as soon as I tried to start it. Has anyone had any experience with this who can help me out?

Inspect the starter relay and it's socket in the fusebox, for any signs of burning or melted plastic. You can swap those three relays on that line with each other since they are the same part number. I've attached the starting circuit wiring diagram if you want to inspect all wiring. Are you the original owner ? Just wondering if a previous owner was having starting issues and stood on the starter for an extensive period and maybe melted the relay or socket.
