The ignition fuel starter fuse blew about 2 weeks ago & now it has just blown again.
this is on a 99 stratus what could be the problem?

Without knowing the exact fuse, first look underneath near the oxygen sensor(s), depending on which engine you have, to see if a wiring harness fell down onto hot exhaust parts and a wire has melted through the insulation and is grounding out.

Is there an easy way to remove the starter from this car and how?

Remove the battery cables from the fuse box and strut tower. Remove 2 starter connectors and 2 mounting screws.

I was givien a partial answer to the starter removal but not what I was looking for and the answer to the hard start up question no answer at all. As requested I made a donation for quick answers.

How to remove starter and what to do about hard start-ups in the mornings.

Starter is underneath, kind of sandwiched between the motor and transaxle. Remove battery cable from the fuse box and driver side strut tower, remove 2 starter connectors and 2 mounting screws.

I had my starter replaced about a month ago and it is now blowing fuses, when i asked the mechanic why it was blowing he said he wasnt sure, but it had a blown fuse a month ago and when he fixed it the starter was starting rough, so he went ahead and replaced it. So, now a month and a half later I am having the same problem. It seems like this is a common problem with the stratus make. From what it looks like it is the wiring, does that sound right and how do i get to fixing it?

Welcome to the forum, which fuses are blowing, need fuse position and amp rating. Fuse 8--20 amp? Try unplugging the fuel pump relay, see if fuse still blows? How long since a tune-up?

the fuse is a 20a and it is for the ignition. it was just in about a month in a half ago when they replaced the starter, had it tuned up as well.

Wondering why it keeps blowing the ignition fuel starter fuse.

each component on that circuit has to be disconnected to see if the fuse holds. if it does, then the tech needs to attach each component till the fuse blows again to determine the area of failure.

it could also be a wiring issue as well. it is not an easy process and it is time consuming

would like to figure out how to remove the starter?

Remove negative battery cable from the left strut tower. Remove your air intake box. You may need to remove the transmission control module as well, but do not disconnect the wiring harness. Once those are out of the way, you will see the top mounting bolt. Remove it.

Raise vehicle. From under the vehicle, locate at remove electrical connectors from the starter. Then remove the bottom mounting bolt. Starter is removed from under the vehicle.
