The other morning it was a slow crank to get started like a low battery but it started. I went to Home Depot about 15 minutes of city driving and turned it off. When I came back outside to start it it was a dead key. All my dash lights where on and it showed good voltage on the volt meter. I checked my fuses and found the ingition fuse under the hood poped. Went and got some replacements and continued it to pop more. I cleaned the all the battery terminals and it still poped fuses. I removed a turbo timer thinking it was the problem and searched for grounded wires and did not find anything. When the fuse blows its only when I move the ket to the start position, so that tells me it might have something to do with the starter. I was stranded so I made a jumper out of wire and juped the poles where the fuse would go and got in and it fired right up with no ill effects. I only turn the key for no more than a second so I figured it would not burn anything up that fast and it has proven true so far with about 10 cranks on it since. I am very incomfortable with the jumper and would like to resolve.

Could it be the starter contacts? It starts up just fine and turns over fast without any weird noises.

 

That is exactly what mine did when the starter contacts wore out. Cheap fix if you just replace teh contacts.
