My 2003 AWD Matrix 149K will start and run for about 5 minutes in the driveway (after replacing the AM2 fuse) and then it blows again and quits. I understand it goes battery - fuse - ignition switch - starter relay - theft relay - starter. the relays seem fine (after all it is just a switch) but what could get hot enough or draw enough amperage over time to cause the fuse to blow? What should i be looking for? Or should I just bite the bullet and put in a new ignition switch? Starter is new so that was not it... Have you ever had this problem before? Love your videos, highly entertaining not to mention informative! THX

with a schematic in hand, measure the current and unplug the relays one by one to isolate where the short is.
