I just recently started having the same problem on my '96 Stratus (90,000 miles). Fuse #8 (Ignition Fuel Starter) blew one morning so I took my other car to work. Got home, replaced fuse, started fine. That was a month ago. Yesterday it happened again so I immediatley repleced the fuse again, and it blew as soon as I turned the key. So I spent all day tearing apart the dash and the kick area.
I have a remote starter I installed myself a year ago, I and was convinced that some tape must have come off, or a wire was worn bare. But I found nothing wrong, and now I'm stumped. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. quest4me, thank you for your response, I will have to look into my starter. Anyone else with this problem, have you found out what is/was wrong, or have you found a way to fix it?? Please email me or post a message on this board. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
