2009 Acura TSX main battery fuse troubles

hey so I'm having a hell of a time diagnosing my problem, I would appreciate any help. So I got in my car and started it, and I tried to roll down the driver window and all of a sudden my main battery fuse blew, so I replaced it and it instantly blew again even though literally nothing was on, so the third time I tried putting the fuse in and THEN connecting the negative battery terminal, which by the way i checked the ground for that and its good, anyways I tried connecting the negative terminal and it sparked supper bad and melted part of the terminal just from being touched, and blew the main battery fuse again, which is the first fuse on the whole circuit for the car, so when that blows nothing works, I have no idea what to check next, since every other fuse is okay, the only thing I could think of was the main ground being bad but I checked it, any help would be greatly appreciated, because I've replaced the starter, alternator, battery and belt tensioner within the last month because they all went out, and this car is turning into a money pit for a car with only 112,000 miles on it, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks...

Has it been in an accident? Sounds like theres a short if the fuse keeps popping upon connecting the battery.

As far as I know it hasn't, it doesn't have a salvage title and there's no visible body damage

Have you tested/checked the battery voltage?

If you have no accessories on (i.e., no voltage draw other than the very basic gauges, etc.) and the battery fuse is instantly blowing I would start my troubleshooting at the battery,
