    The engine starter fuse (20 amp) keeps blowing. I've checked my battery and stater connections and everything seems fine. Any suggestions?

    I know how you feel. My starter began failing on the last long weekend (1st Monday in August here in Ontario). It had different symptoms though. It wouldn't disengage fast enough. I wish I could help you.

    Check your connections at the battery and the grounding wire that attaches to the block.

    Inspect the wiring going to the starter for chaffing.

    Yep...starter propabaly going bad and drawing to much current...my little ballast emptying pump was doing that (blowing fuses) until it finally crapped out.

    I would do as recommended above just to be sure...check all the battery connections..

    The fuse on the dash? Replace the fuel pump it's drawing to much power and tripping the fuse... the starter uses a relay and the starter should get it's power from the battery directly, no fuses..
