sounds like you have a short around your starter, since you started popping fuses right after replacing it. check your connections.

about the clicking, that usually happens when your battery doesnt have enough juice to spin the starter. grab a voltmeter and check it.

same thing happened to my car but with a KA.it wasnt the starter or anything else it was just that my battery was so dirty, so we disconnected it and poured some coke on it.hope that helped?
