Which 20amp fuse there are lots of 20amp fuses?

I have a Ford connect 1.8 van and it has started to blow the 20amp fuse when the ignition is switched on to start the engine.
Thank you for any help

It's the fuse from the ignition switch to the starter motor/solenoid I think!!!!

2 Fuseboxes one in the engine bay and one behind the glovebox. Approx 5 20A fuses in the engine bay and
several more 20A fuses behind the glovebox.

There should be a label on the underside of the engine bay fusebox with diagrams to the fuses and the same
on the rear of the glovebox.


Fuse blows when you go to crank the engine or just turning the ignition on? What else does not work?

Hi thanks for the reply's it is the fuse in the engine fuse box No.12. (20amp fuse) it shows it's going to the starter solenoid. It seems to blow when turning on the ignition then turning it to start the engine but, the fuse will not blow every time!!!! but when it blows everything seems to be working in the rest of the van. How can I test if it is the ignition switch

There seems a slight delay when trying to start the van in which time the 20amp fuse blows. Have tried a 30amp fuse as a test and there is still a slight delay but the larger fuse will not blow and the van starts. Fuse removed and the 20amp back in with the fuse blowing at times. The delay on the starting could it indicate the ignition switch is at fault or there is a sluggish starter problem? The Capt'n

Hi all just an update on the van starting problem!!!! Fitted a new ignition switch and all is still the same, Do anyone thing it could be the ignition switch barrel?
