[cederstratus]

Cleaning the connector with the brown wire at the starter motor solenoid fixed my "blown fuse #8" problem.

My Stratus leaks oil and there was a large amound of dried oil inside the connector so I sprayed some degreasing solution in it and that fixed my problem.
To reduce the chance of this connector being contaminated with oil in the future, I packed the connector with dielectric grease after cleaning it.

This was before I replaced the starter motor/solenoid unit.
I did this first because the fuse did not blow when I removed this connector. I was surprised the fuse still blew with the new unit installed.

BTW, if you need to remove the starter motor, you may have a hard time finding the bottom mounting bolt for the starter motor. It is not at all visible. It's above the front engine mount. You'll have to feel around for it.

Hope this helps someone.
