car was driving fine. lights were dim (all). Car died at a stop sign. Popped the clutch to get it going again.... it died. Main fuse was blown but may have happened while trying to jump it. First how do I get that fuse out? What would make the battery die to the point that it won't start? Altenator? or Battery? or both?

You must unbolt the fuse panel and use a 8mm wrench to remove the fuse in question.
