Why does 2002 stratus keep blowing a 20 amp starter fuse?

Possible causes:

- Faulty starter motor: A faulty starter motor can draw excessive current, causing the fuse to blow. Check the starter motor for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.

- Faulty ignition switch: A faulty ignition switch can also cause the starter fuse to blow. Check the ignition switch for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.

- Short circuit in the wiring: A short circuit in the wiring can cause the starter fuse to blow. Inspect the wiring for any signs of damage or wear, and repair any faults as necessary.

- Faulty relay: A faulty relay can cause the starter fuse to blow. Check the relay for signs of damage or corrosion, and replace it if necessary.

Additional tips:

- If you have recently installed any aftermarket electrical components, such as a sound system or alarm system, check the installation to make sure it is done correctly and there are no loose or exposed wires that could cause a short circuit.

- If the fuse blows consistently even after replacing it, there may be an underlying electrical issue that needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic.
