Blown fuse 1994 GTX

[mhicks]

Well, it wouldn't start and tore into the electrical box and found a blown 15 amp fuse. Replaced the fuse and still won't start. Checked the fuse again and it is still okay. Anybody have a clue as to what to check now or replace?

check the obvious first, battery and leads, check both ends(starter and battery). make sure battery is not in backwards.( it happens) if all is good then check and see if there is voltage at the small wire going to the small post on the starter solenoid when pushing the start button. if it does then your soleniod id bad if not it could be the start button,mpem or lanyard switch.

so there should not be voltage there when pushing the start button?

yes' while pushing the start button and the lanyard on the signal wire should have 12volts at the solenoid. you could try running a wire from the positive side of the battery and as you touch the small post on the solenoid it should engauge the starter. if it works then the problem is with the elec.sys. and not the solenoid or starter.

It turns over fine but there is no fire to the plugs.

Any other ideas?
