not sure what blowen fuse looks like ?

Why i ask is that a blown fuse is very obvious , the wire filament inside melts and there is discoloration inside the fuse .

You just don't replace fuses willy nilly . You look for a blown one and replace that one !

Voltmeter won't tell you the whole story about your battery.

Try getting one of these (Solar Battery Tester). They are reasonably priced and have served me well.
