#95944, "Starting Problems HELP"


          

Ok so I turn the key and get nothing, everything in the car comes on, fuel pump primes, everything works, but the starter does jack! You can jump it directly to the battery and it spins over fine w/o a problem? Also it keeps blowing the engine fuse when you jump it like that though. Anyone got any info? HELP this thing is driving me crazy.

checked it, its fine, the only one popping is the engine fuse, but only if you try to start it by linking the starter directly to the battery, the ignition fuse is fine, and you can turn the key and it will not pop the fuse either
