They use fusable links at the starter end of the primary ignition wires that go to the starter...these are wire with sections that are designed to blow like a fuse if overloaded...check for discolored insulation spots or sections that feel "noodly" because of the missing wire section inside...

If you find a bad one, simply get a replacement of the proper gauge from a parts store, cut the bad section out and replace by splicing in the new piece....

Check around the power distribution center and jump start terminal over the LF wheel near the battery too for damage....

Do you have interior lights, door chime, headlights, radio, etc?
