Detach the alternator and try again, it could be grounding?

xxkido0xx

il try anything.. ill do that and reply to this post and stay updated ,,

you've got a short to ground somewhere most likely. Check your starter wire and alternator wire.

cashkeith

sounds like you didnt ground out the starter

ABK

how exactly do you ground out the starter lol and why would that blow a fuse, when he just hooks up the battery? Do you have any idea what you are saying?

No VDUBS here in206

make sure everything is grounded, replace the fuse

Hanmin

check your positive battery wiring, i think that got grounded.

yyea i thoght that the starter wass all positive ??? and idk the fuse just gose out.. i might have something plug in wrong but imma try all i can .. what is ther more that i can doo???

ABK

get a circuit breaker that's the same amprege rating, put it where that fuse goes. Start pulling fuses one by one and see if it trips the breaker. If the doesn't work start unplugging stuff one by one. You have to go back and check whatever you touched.

i have no clue what that is and how to use it but ill ask my brother umm.. but i was told today that my starter was crosed and thats what cases to blow the fuse?? what u think ??

ABK

How do you cross a starter? BTW starter wire just goes straight from battery to the starter so it won't blow a fuse, because it doesn't run thru fuse box.

then why do u thikn that it blows that fuse ??? have anny idea?? i got me a starter thank god i didnt pay 4 it but imma instal it anny who its brand new.. but why u thikn im blowing up that one ignition 50a fuse uthikn i dont have a good ground i have the tranny one and the one on the head ,,

ABK

it's not because you don't have a good ground. Did you fail physics in high school? You blow the fuse because you have something going straight to ground. It means that positive is touching the ground somehow (it's called a short). How hard is that to explain. It could be something defective, or something that's touching, or something that's not hooked up where it's not supposed to be. It's a short to ground, not that you are missing the ground.
