Starter enabler fuse blows which means the starter motor does not work until fuse is changed

The starter won't crank. If nothing happens when you turn the ignition key to the "Start"position, it means that the starter motor doesn't turn over the engine. Most commonly this could be caused by a dead battery; here is How to check the battery. ... The starter motor itself or a starter solenoid could be bad.13 Aug 2013

see if this link helps you out.

Check to see if you have voltage to the starter if you do try tapping the solenoid while someone cranks it if it starts change out your starter if you have no voltage to your starter start to look for a fusible link that goes to your starter chances are its blown. A fusible link is going to look just like a regular insulated wire but acts as a fuse and blows just like a fuse check the wires to the starter I usually pull a little on the wires to see if the insulation will stretch if it keeps stretching then that's the fusible link that's blown and will need to be changed out. I have seen this on many vehicles where everything works but the starter will not turn over. sometimes the fusible link is located down by the starter and other times its under the hood next to other fusible links you just have to find it let me know how it goes.

have you checked the ignition fuse... in the engine bay fuse box...? starter motor sorting out can blow this fuse.

The problem could be a shorted park netual safety switch . Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? It shows all the componets involved in a electrical circuit ! You IGN.1 fuse 40amp , GM calls it IGN A fuse 40 amp . It feeds the ignition switch and pin 30 at the starter enable relay .When you turn the key to the start position it sends B+ voltage to #8 crank fuse , located in the I/P fuse box ,from there it goes to the park netual safety switch , to pin 86 or 85 of the starter enable relay ! If you pull the relay out of the fuse box an look on the bottom you will see this four set's of numbers ,30,87 & 85 ,86 You can test at the fuse box where the relay plugs in . Here is a video on how to test . The guy presenting the video uses a horn circuit , but it works the same way . It happens a lot , the park netual safety switch shorting out . It may or may not be the problem . VEHICLE RELAYS Operation Diagnosis
Here is a web site for free wiring diagrams
http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter your vehicle info . then under system click on engine , then under subsystem click on starting . Then click on the search button an a link will pop up , click on it .You will see all the componets , connections , wiring colors etc... for the starter circuit for your vehicle .

it may be a faulty solenoid

Starter Fuse? Possible failed ignition switch. Loose Cables on battery or starter. Starter not grounding properly. Bad starter Relay? Use Voltmeter check voltage going to main starter wire while someone cranks the motor if not power check power to starter relay while cranking if no power suspect ignition switch.

YOU GOT A IGNITION WIRE TO STARTER SHORTING TO GROUND.

before replacing your ignition control module, it is a good idea to test if it is your starter/solenoid. I dont know if the solenoid is built into the starter on this car (many or most newer ones are) but either of a bad starter or solenoid could also cause a no start condition and is probably a more likely and simpler problem scenario. When you say "nothing happens to the starting section" do you mean you've already tested that no power goes to your starter or simply that when you turn the key to the start position nothing happens? If you have a voltage tester there should be a smaller red wire leading to the starter/solenoid in addition to the large one going straight from the battery box. If this is 'hot' or has voltage when the key is turned to start (12-14 volts is good) then the ignition module is not the problem. Remember that on your VW you can only hit the start point once for each key cycle.. ie before your 'start' point works, the key has to begin in the complete off position. you can't 'retap' start from the on or acc position for additional tests.

you have a crossed wire thats blowing the fuse. Check all wires to the starter also to the fuse box and to the battery

Hi Matt

Follow the( + ) positive lead from the battery, to the starter, check the connections, if all OK, get someone to turn the ignition key to start, and give the starter a tap, on the selenoid, with a small hammer or a metal socket extension.

Good Luck !

Let me know the outcome !

Also a FixYa rating would be nice !
