Pull out the 100 amp alt fusible link, located on the battery terminal. It might look fine from the top, but it sounds like you have a short somewhere, and thats why it popped again.

Does the ignition work at all? I mean.. does the car start?

Is the IOD connector pushed down securely?

Do you have a turbo timer? If so, is the harness connected securely, and without any faults shorts or open circuits?

My brake light problem turned out to be a broken wire in the kick panel

Quoting GVR41380:

Seriously? Are you new to GVR4s? It's in the fusebox under the hood. It's called IOD Connect. It's a "storage" connector, for when you put a vehicle in storage and dont want the battery drained. I pull mine up whenever the car is going to be stationary for a long while... like now, while it's waiting for new parts.
