Help, starter fuse keeps blowing!
Its mainly only in the morning, but when I go to start my truck after heating the fuel the 20 amp fuse under the hood pops. This thing has been eating some fuses, everything else seems normal and this only happens once or twice a month on both cold and warm days. Its crazy, the fuse does not blow until its in the momentary start position, sometimes I'll even get 1/2 or 1/4 of a reveloution of the motor before it blows the fuse. I was hoping someone might know about this problem. TIA

Starter contacts 100%. You could go the cheap temporary way and get a circut breaker in place of the fuse. I've used the circut breaker for a few months, and haven't changed the contacts, but I have them ready.

Just replaced the solenoid contacts and man were they worn! On one side the contact was almost paper thin, I dont see how it started @ all. Thanks again everyone for helping me out and pointing me in the right direction!
