No power

I was going down the road and the engine shut off on me. Tried to get.it start but melted one of the posts on the battery. Now I can turn the ignition and nothing happens. No lights no guages, NOTHING. Put new batteries in it and tried but still had nothing. Found on small 20 amp fuse blown, so I replaced it and still nothing. Any suggestions?
