    Man, that sucks...

    I'm usually the one giving boosts and I always follow this procedure:

    1. connect red booster cable to weak battery POSITIVE post.
    2. connect red cable to POSITIVE post on booster battery.
    3.connect black cable to booster battery NEGATIVE post.
    4.make final connection on engine block of stalled vehicle away from the battery.

    STAND BACK ('cause you never know what could happen)

    5. start vehicle and remove cables in reverse order of connection by disconnecting engine block connection first.

    Good luck with your problem.

    I'm guessing it was your 60amp fuse? Same thing happened to me once.
