Did not drive my Z in few weeks so went to drive it today but the battery was dead which is normal so I charged the bat and put it back in the car. Went to crank but nothing happend. So I checked the lights and that was fine but I noticed that the radio did not come on. I decided to check fuses and found the 10amp fuse for the shift lock was popped. I took the bad one out and as soon as i put another in pop! Took the battery off and put the fuse in no pop. Put the battery in and pap! Whats up with that? Any thoughts on this thanks

Hmm.. strange. Are you connecting the ground to the battery first? I know this is obvious but still.. other than that I'm thinking you may have a short circuit somewhere which is a PITA to locate. Try letting the battery die and just jump the car off or get a new battery? I dunno my friend.
