Check the power wiring running to the starter for exposed wire or loose insulation. I've run into the same thing on a few Chrysler vehicles where the insulation on the starter wire just melts off and blows fuses like crazy
I have the same problem on a Breeze 99
I change the starter but check wiring & voltage on the starter first
SOURCE: My ignition fuse keeps blowing on my 1995 neon.
CHECK THE THICK WIRE AT THE BACK OF THE ALTERNATOR THEY ARE PRONE TO MELTING THE INSULATION OFF AND SHORTING OUT AGAINST ANY METAL[GROUNDING OUT]
SOURCE: ignition fuel starter fuse keeps blowing and it won't start
The earlier "fix" suggests a possible wiring problem -
more specifically, a historic issue with Chrysler products is the ground connections, which are typically insufficient.
Check both the battery to engine and then the engine to frame (firewall). If either are worn or frayed replace them. Even if it looks fine I would still replace the motor to frame cable with a heavy duty grounding strap available at most parts stores. ( doesn't have to be a specific cable - can even be homemade, just make sure it is heavier than the original and is connected to a good, bare area.)

Keeps blowing 20 amp fuse when trying to start car. Stoppped for a while when i would turn ignition on then to neutral to start engine. But now it just blows every time I try to start engine.
I have same problem with 01 sebring---- I put a 25 amp fuse and solved blowing a lot of fuses.If the radio quits then I know the fuse blew! PLUS sometimes when you turn switch to start, it does nothing (sometimes it will be ok for a day, sometime a week.Sometimes it will start on the first turn and sometimes 10-15 times, but it always starts. Also a code comes up saying "DONE" Wish I could find out whats going on with it also!
