Chrysler Repair: 2003 Sebring: no starter, fuse 10 or 20 amp?, amp fuse, fuel pump


Question
Car won't start. No click no turnover. All else works except key fob. Changed 10amp
Fuse under hood (ignition) and it kept blowing. Put
In 20amp and it started. Obvisously not right so any ideas

Answer
Hi Keith,
You didn't identify the fuse by number and there is only supposed to be one 10 amp fuse in the box: fuse #10 counting from right to left in the front row of fuses and that one is related to lights and other not-starter functions. So perhaps the fuse that you replaced was #8?, and that one is supposed to be 20 amp. It runs the starter, the fuel pump and part of the ignition switch so it needs to be 20 amp. Maybe the wrong size fuse was the one that is blowing. Count and tell me what it the fuse number in question.
