I need help, I can't start my car.

I plugged in my car because I was troubleshooting my carb and I didnt want to wait for it to get to mid temp. I went outside only to see the power bar it was plugged into was shut off. I turned it back on and it instantly shut off. I unplugged it and tried to start my car. It wouldn't start, the battery is fine and has lots of power. I don't know if I blew the starter or a fuse (but I couldn't find a fuse box). Someone please help.

Probably need more info, but it sounds like you get abs nothing when you turn the key, no turnover etc? Maybe it's a fusible link? Driver's side shock tower....

Of course, you'd want to understand why the link went, if indeed it opened.
