Blowing starter fuse, please help!!!

Post by StreetEviL » Sat Mar 03, 2007 7:48 pm

Everything was fine all day. I go get gas and my car starts right up. I went home and like 20 min. later, I tried to start my car again and nothing. The guages didn't work and the engine didn't even try to crank over. I look and the starter bus fuse is blowing as soon as I turn the key to the on postion. I was like shit, so I took off the starter and had it tested and it passed with ease. Can anyone help me fix this problem, it came out of nowhere? Why would the starter bus fuse blow when I turn the key on and not to the start position? I also, checked the starter wires for continuity and resistance and I could not get anything from the green wire on the starter to the battery.
