The ign A (40amp fuse) feeds the starter relay (pin 30) then goes exits the junction block through pin C1 to wire #B11 (red) to the ignition switch, then to the fuse block (pin A) on the lower left side of the dash.
I hope that was what your looking for. If you have any more questions let me know.

Ya this is my truck. I can turn the key to the on position and everything is fine, but immediately when I try to engage the starter, the fuse blows. Sorry if im a little uneducated on what Nevada 79 said, but what exactly should I check Besides the fuse I already have checked? Help appreciated.

First off when did this start happening and have you done anything recently that may have affected this. Anything that may have been tied into the circuit?
If not, you might have a short to ground in the purple wire D11 from pin 87 of the starter motor relay to terminal "S" of the starter solenoid. To isolate this you are going to disconnect the purple wire D11 at terminal "S" from the stater solenoid. If it still pops the fuse then you need to repair the short. If not your problem is most likely a faulty starter solenoid. Try this and get back to me.

Thanks for ur help. I narrowed it down to the starter, because when it was unplugged and I turned the key over it wouldn't blow the fuse. Took it to Kragen and their test results came back posititve. I was stumped until a guy working there suggested to put a new one on their tester and compare mine to it. Well the new one spun much faster to mine and the guy also pointed out that mine was super hot and the new one wasn't even warm. I bought the new one and as I was bolting it down with the battery still hooked up, it sparked and put a pin hole in the tranny cooling lines.
But the starter fixed the problem. Started up with no problems.
