My starter was fine, until the weekend.
The weather was nice and I decided to take a drive; started fine. when I got to my destination, I turned the key and it attempted to start the car and the battery cuts off. I have a 60 amp fuse on the red wires going to the battery, check the fuse it wast toast. I replaced the fuse and it blew it instantly as soon as I turn the key on. Since there is a wire coming from the the main fuse that I installed from the battery to my amp and air horn, I isolated the wire and replace the fuse again the car starts fine. When I got home, I installed a dedicated fuse for that amp wire. Since then, the starter becomes a hit and miss. sometimes starts on the first try, sometimes i have to turn the key on and off before the starter spins. Sometimes it would start spinning for a short time and stops before the engine can start. The starter positive wire is straight from the battery. I know that there is an issue with the 74's where a relay is installed, but why would it burn the fuse to begin with? All my grounds are intact. Any ideas?? |

Cracked Ignition Switch can cause intermitent problems until it totally stops working?
