It's a 05 suburban 2wd. So I started it to go fishing and it ran weird and the traction control warning came on. So I shut it off but the truck kept running, so I disconnected the negative cable from the batt. Now when I try to start it the ign A 40a fuse blows. Trouble shooting done so far, visually inspect all wires from battery, all wires that could come in contact with frame or moving parts. Replaced ign switch thinking that it might have been bad and that is why it continued to run. Any ideas.

 

I pulled the starter off and got it tested. It did not work, so new starter went in and all is good. I have had issues with starters in the past but I never had one blow fuses and refuse to turn over. Hope this helps some one else in the future.

 

Another thread had mentioned the starter solenoid shorting out and blowing that fuse. Unplug the starter. Try a new fuse. Put the key front. If it don't blow then change the starter. Worked right away for me. Guess we'll see how long it lasts now..... :]

Edit:When i initially had the problem i had started the truck and accidentally turned key off right as the engine was turning over. When I tried to start again I got nothing due to blown ignA fuse 40a. My fault I assume so again we'll see if she lasts

 

Edit2:I used a re-manufactured starter which worked for a couple days then same issue. So I swapped for a brand new starter. And I also changed the starter relay. Worked fine. 1 day. Then same thing. Blowing 40amp ignA fuse.
