What kind of car is this so we might have a way to check the wiring to see what the problem actually is.

Next time please give type of car, engine size along with year. See pic on where to check fuses under hood fuse box. A test light or volt meter are all that are required as they have contacts to touch they should be marked on fuse box. Also you might go to an auto parts or tire store and have battery checked for condition including load test. Most places do for free.
