Because there is a short in the system. You need to check:

  1. Disconnect the ING ( The trigger ) wire at the starter or starter solenoid. It will be one of or the only small wire (14 gauge) Test with new fuse. (I had a wire touching the body of the starter on my Dodge truck, just had to bend it away and secure it)
  2. If the fuse does not blow the starter or the starter solenoid is faulty. Most likely the item it wires directly to.
  3. If the fuse still blows you need to trace the wires back and find the short. If the wiring for this is inside the steering column that is what I would suspect next.

Unhook the wires on the starter, replace the fuse, turn the ingnition key on as if you were going to start the car. If the fuse does not blow, it is your starter. I just had this problem with a 1996 Dodge Stratus. I replaced the stater and it now works.

It sounds like maybe your starter might be shorted out - a wire could be touching the casing somewhere or it could be something worn in the starter that is letting something go to ground inside. Unhook starter and try putting the fuse in and turn the key if it blows the fuse in is not the starter.

Your 1990 Chevy lumina keeps blowing the DIS 10 amp fuse when i turn the ignition on. someone please help me?

If the 1990 Chevy Lumina is blowing the DIS 10 Amp fuse when the ignition is on, check to make sure that all wires coming from this fuse are grounded properly. Also check to make sure the starter is wired properly. There could also be a loose wire in the dash near the ignition.

Why does the fuel pump fuse keep blowing on a 1995 dodge caravan?

If it's blowing immediately when you turn the key on, there is an electrical short in the system and you are going to need to trace it down. If it blows after several minutes or hours after turning the key on, it appears that your pump is overworking, causing the fuse to get hot and blow. Replace the pump to repair the problem.
