ls1 will not start

98 trans am will not crank. I have found a blown ignition fuse under the hood and replaced it,but it blew again. Car will not do anything when you turn the key. No clicks or lights on dash board,but lights work on car.
Any thing helps!

does the fuse pop right when you try and turn the car on? Try pulling that panel off below your steering wheel and see if you have any wires under there shorting out. You can get a multimeter and try checking your ignition power wire to ground and see if it is shorting itself somewhere along the line that way. Either that or it sounds like your ignition switch may be bad and shorting out to pop those fuses

Jesus that really sounds like good advice, but....ugh. Why is spelling an endangered species here?

I took out the starter and found out that it is bad, I hope that is it.

if every time you go to crank the car you blow a fuse, then its in your starting circuitry the starter draws the most load up to 350A on initial crank...thats the highest ive seen when i load tested my system...if you have a short or a grounded out set of wires in the starter windings its very easy to overload the circuitry.. do a voltage drop on the cable going to the starter you should see no more than a .5 VD on the + side and a .3VD on the - side, also check the resistance of the starter itself that is a high torque mini, they draw lots of current
