Hi Art, I'm glad to help. The fusable link you are talking about doesn't go to the starter itself. Here's what I need you to do. Disconnect all the wiring going to the Alternator and see if it still blows the link. If it doesn't then replace the Alternator for an internal short. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Art.

Could be one of two things.

1. Your starter motor is no good.
2. If you turn on your lights and try to start the car and they dim to almost black, then you need to check the battery connections.

SOURCE: 96 subaru legacy starter problem

I have run into this problem. The installation location of the starter is very critical to have a good ground. On the EJ25 motors the way the starter mounts with one bolt to the trans and the other through the trans to the block makes it difficult to get a really good ground. I would make sure you have a nice clean secure ground. Hope this solves your problem, nothing worse than having a Subie and not being able to use it. Good luck.

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

SOURCE: starter enabler fuse blows which means the starter motor does not work until fuse is changed

It is possible that the starer is pulling too much amperage- 1st thing you need to do is find out what if any other consumers are on that circuit, 2nd you need to find out how much amperage is being consumed by the starter. 3rd test you wires most likely if a wire problem it is the heavy hot wire on the starter or the back of the alternator has a loose retaining nut

your barking up the wrong gum tree witht the starter motor ,you have an electrical supply problem on the battery terminal area with more than one wire connected or a dodgy earth cable from the engine to the chassis .i would be inclined to check and fit another earth cable from a good connection on the engine -(bell housing) and run it back to battery terminal to eliminate all posibilitys .before anything else ,make you own if you have to but only use copper cable .this is my last question for tonight ,have to go pick er indoors up from work now

04 Suzuki Forenza blows starter fuse every time you put one in immediately it blows how to fix the problem

you have a short to ground somewhere.The best way to start this diagnosis is you will always have one of your main power wires of your battery to the starter.A better question is do you even get to crank it before it blows or does it blow when you put it in, as in turn the key to the run position no cranking or you crank then it blows?

Won't start, won't crank

have you crossed the solenoid terminals and checked the starter for operation? may have the battery cable burnt thru to ground by the exhaust side of the motor..it happens if the cable is up against the block..

Won't start, won't crank

What you say does not make sense. Starter/solenoid works off the car, but only the solenoid works on the car? Is your ground wire from battery to engine loose? Both solenoid and starter use the same ground wire...?

Which is the correct fuse for the starter? Also, what position is this fuse in the fuse box?

Ther should not be a fuse directly for the starter on your car. It would be for your ignition. If you are having problems as to the car not even turning over I would check the power in the battery. if you have plenty there check to make sure there is power to the main wire on the starter (the big one). if good there you can have someone turn the key to see if you are getting pwoer to the little wires on the solenoid when the key is turned. if you are it sounds like a starter. If not ther are fusable links to those wires. You need to check the fusable links. That to me is where I would start if it is not even turning over. I hope this helps and good luck.

2002 chevy van 2500 when i turn key to start van

Fuses only blow if-Old,Overheated or you have a Short circuit.
That should be any easy fix,to the extent that there aren't many 40 Amp Fuses and you will need a wiring diagram to follow the problem from the fuse to the cause. If you know what fuse it is, you can guess,but I wouldn't recommend that,it will be time consuming and maybe costly ,if you don't have a test procedure to follow and throw parts at it.
Don't replace the fuse.Their expensive and will keep blowing.

Im have a 40 watt fuse that blows when i start my truck occasiona

It could be either the ignition switch,clutch safety switch(if applicacle)or the starter solenoid,I'm including the circuit diagram for you,one of the 2 or three if it's manual trans has short,if the fuse is blowing as soon as you turn the key on(not engaging the starter)it will be in the switch itself or the clutch safety switch.If it happens when you go to engage the starter it's most likely the solenoid.
