Was told a while back that my headlight(s) had a short. However, when I had them replaced today the bulbs worked. A few hours later, my car had NO power at all, and there was a loud ticking coming from the back fuse box. When said fuse was removed, still no power and ticking started in front fuse box.

Did you ever have the short repaired?

That is what I went to the repair shop for, I told them there was a short, but they replaced the bulbs and said that is all it needed. My car is completely dead, is there anything I can do to at least get it running to drive to another shop so I don't have to get it towed?

Have the battery charged up. You may have to remove it if you dont have a charger and take it to a parts store.
