Fuse 21 keeps blowing for the starter relay, have replaced relay, truck starts when a screwdriver is contacting both poles on the relay, have tried to trace this orange wire with a thin red stripe but there are just too many wires and it dissapears into the a wiring harness, don't know where it could be shorting out.

This small wire doesn't go to the starter, it goes to the relay, from fuse 21 inside the cab it goes to the transmission DTR then to the relay, the wires don't go near the alternator. My starter relay is mounted on the fire wall near the battery. I can't find this wire in the huge mess of wires.
