Engine will not turn over? Bad starter?

Okay, so that fuse goes directly to the ignition switch and powers the starter circuit. All indications are that you have a shorted starter relay, solenoid or starter. This will require testing to find out which one it is. Is this something you are interested in doing with my guidance or would you prefer taking it to a shop? Or perhaps you have someone you know that can help if you don't want to do it.

Let me know, Rich

Okay great, Lets jump in.

First, here is a guide for the starter so you know what you are dealing with:

And here is a guide to remove and replace the starter:

I would suggest first you jack the car up and inspect it for safety damage as well as visible damage to the starter after the railroad trip. If you see any damage you are unsure of, take a pic and upload it here and I will try to assess it.

Next I would recommend dropping the starter and taking it to AutoZone or the like and have them test the starter its self. If it is shorted then you can replace it and you should be good to go. If not we can go to step 2.

Let me know what you find out.

You are very welcome. Let me know what you find out.

I am glad you got it solved. We knew there was a short somewhere.
