my evo wont start....help!!!!!

I dont know what the problem is but my evo wont start for some reason....its all stock w/ no mods...It drove and started fine yesterday, but this evening when I went out to start it the motor didnt even crank over.....nothing coming from the starter either...I thought it was my battery, but its fine....i tried cranking it a couple of times and still nothing then all of a sudden I have no power at all.....I opened up the fuse box inside the engine bay and saw that the 40 amp ignition fuse was blown so I borrow my brothers fuse from his evo hoping that was the problem...I tried starting it again and still the same symptoms.....worst of all I ended up blowing his fuse also.... i dont know what could being causing this???? if anyone has any input or has had the same problem please help me out......this happened around 8 pm so all the auto stores were closed...I couldnt even get a new fuse...this really pisses me off....car wont start and now we have two dead evos sitting in the parking lot....tomorrow morning Ill be picking some new fuses...im hoping its something minimal that can be fixed but if not Ill have it taken to the dealer.....any advice is aprreciated...thanx

Sounds like something maybe battery or +12V line is shorted. I suggest you get it tow to the dealer. That's what warranty is for.

Sounds like something shorted in the charging system.. like previously said, its probably a good idea to take it to the dealer and have them fix it. Especially since the car is bone stock, you don't want to start troubleshooting it yourself.
