No Crank, No Start, Blown Fuse (Repair and Reroute Starter Wire)

Some customers may comment on a extended engine crank or a no start condition. This condition may be intermittent and, upon investigation, the technician may also find that the 30 amp starter fuse (#26) is blown.

This condition may be caused by the purple starter wire (circuit #6) chafing against the A/C line.
