Dodge: 1996 Stratus blowing its fuse

96 Dodge Stratus 2.4l, a/t.... daily blowing the ign/start 20 amp mini
fuse. Doesnt blow it ever time your start it, and not always the first
time it is started. Alternator is charging and battery maintiancs good
voltage. Is the starter drawing too many amps, or is it the ignition
switch? How do I diagnois the two? The cables are clean. The car has
126K miles and has NEVER had a problem other than normal service and
repairs: IE shocks, tires. The battery is 18 months old.

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.
