There are 2 fuses that could blow on that causing a no start, ne will take
out the starter and the other one will take out the fuel pump, and the fuel
pump and starter are normally the reason, when you say no start do you mean
it cranks but wont start or wont crank? also there are 2 mires at the
starter, of course the big red one is direct battery and the , i forget the
color but the other is the solonoid, when the fuse blows for the starter, it
takes out the solonoid, And both fuses will blow on first start.
