Why does the fuse keep blowing on my starter?
If the fuse still blows, there is a short in the wire leading from the “S” terminal of the ignition switch to the 3/8″ nut solenoid terminal. If it does not blow, then either the solenoid or the starter is shorted out.

What happens when you blow the 20 amp fuse?
The 12 volts power supply from that 20 amp fuse is distributed to more circuits than the start circuit. The electrical short / overload could be in any of those branches. When power branches like this, the branches have to be checked and disconnected to find the fault. Good luck in finding an electrician. It might be worth changing the starter.
Why does my car keep blowing the fuse?
Now it is back to blowing intermittently. They think it might be the starter but are not sure. After getting the car to start once with a 25 amp fuse (vs. the called for 20) it started each time for them with the 20 amp back in place so it is hard to be sure.

What to do when your fuse keeps blowing?
If the fuse blows simply when you turn the key to the ON position, some component or wire is shorted out that leads from (connects to) the “A” (accessory) terminal of the ignition switch. In this case, finding the problem would consist of a matter of elimination…… disconnecting items until the fuse no longer blows.
What causes the fuse to fail when I turn the key to the start?
