Car won't start

So I was trying to start my car yesterday and it would crank over and it wouldn't start. It's happened before and it was a fuse that would usually go out so I swapped the fuse out and it still wouldn't start. It's not getting any electricity to the coil packs which is what would usually happen but the fuse didn't fix it most likely the fuse box isn't getting any power either. Anybody got any ideas?

Double check ALL fuses. Knowing that all of your fuses are good is important when troubleshooting on the net.

There is a yellow connector close to AFM. Jump it with key ON and listen for the fuel pump. It will be quite apparent if it's running. You will hear the fuel moving through the system. Post results.

I don't think it's a fuel issue it's a electrical issue cause there isn't any electricity going through the coil packs

It would still help diagnose an ignition issue. If you could post results that would be helpful. It will take you 5 seconds.

Fuse that may go unnoticed is the engine fuse(15A).

Questions:

Which fuse was blowing?
Is your tach jumping when you attempt to start it?

Did you check the fuse you replaced to see if it blew again? Something blew it in the first place, so if you didnt fix it, its going to keep blowing.

It's the 15a fuse located near the dead pedal that's for the engine. Its gone out multiple times and caused the same issue that's why I changed it out but it didn't work this time I haven't checked the tach cause I had to go to work but once I get back I'll check
