Engine starter..wierd problem Options

this is a really wierd problem which occuredd last night. the car started just fine and i went to go get an alignment on it and all went well and the technician attempted to start it and it wouldn't even turn over or anything. the started wasn't even clicking. we had to pop start it and it started with that but then the stock gauges or the power windows worked. on my way home my el gauges started to dim so i'm like crap so i rushed home and got into my driveway and the car died a minute later. the battery was toast. i have fan controls, power locks, lights, horn, and radio. what i don't have is power windows, sunroof, nor stock gauges. none of them work. i checked the starter fuse and it was blown so i put a new one in, and it blew that one so i put in a 15 amp one and that one also blew. so i figure there is a current draw somewhere but not to sure where. i have an alarm in it and i recently put in a new 5s motor. and the starter does work cuz i jumped it with a wire and it started the car fine. anyone have any suggestions? thanks guys.

Sounds like you have a short, or an alternator & battery problem. Check your major grounds & any wires that look chewed through, this might be a little time consuming.
