Won't start, new battery, no power

Long time lurker, first time poster :-)

My car (2013 UK GT86) recently had the valve spring recall work done, incase that makes any difference.

The battery (Yuasa 60ah) has been on it's way out for a few months and I've needed to use a boost pack to start it if it's not been used for a few weeks. About a week ago I started it from the boost pack and drove 10 miles.When I came back to the car 2hrs later it won't start, even with the boost pack.

I replaced the battery with an identical Yuasa 60ah, but now it won't start at all. When I hit the start button it does nothing, no lights on the dash, nothing at all.
  • The central locking works when I use the metal key.
  • The button to open the boot works.

That's it though! I've tested every fuse and found AT+B (7.5a) was blown, so I replaced that. I've tested every other fuse in the engine bay and in the foot well, and I've tested the two fused links on the battery. Battery is showing 12.4V.

I don't think it's the battery, and I don't think it's a fuse, but something happened to blow the 7.5a AT+B fuse and I'm thinking it's taken something else out with it.

Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated, before I admit defeat and call a mechanic!
