Good Morning
I have a Gen8 Hilux
Which has a no start issue, tested fuses etc & found 50 amp ST fuse blown, replaced and blows when ignition turned to start
Swapped relay, still blows
Think I’m looking for a dead short ??
Any info would be much appreciated
Cheers

I had same issue a few weeks ago, for me it was the Starter Motor solenoid wire rubbing against the block. All I can suggest is to look for obvious burn marks and remove the problem away from the earth.it.might be rubbing against. Insulation tape if it's cooked the existing insulation.
