What are 60 amp fuses for - Cars & Trucks

It's not the fuse is bad , something that fuse supplies Battery voltage too is staying on or shorted . Which fuse box is it located in ? Under hood in engine bay ? I have factory service repair manual an don't see 60 amp fuse's has 80 amp maxi fuse's . near the battery . 4 of them .
5) Fuse V6 (80A)
(6) Fuse V5 (80A)
(7) Fuse V4 (80A)
(8) Fuse V1 (80A)

V-4 powers the ignition switch

It shouldn't be. The starter is going to pull as many amps as it needs. The fuse is to protect the wiring and keep the car from catching fire in case the starter fails and tried to pull more current than it should. That being said you need to change it back. 80 amps is 33% more current than what that circuit is designed to carry. Being that it's a 1993 you should probably be on your 3rd starter by now

Vehicle info ?

a 60 amp is not rated high enough so that is why it tripped,it needs a 70 amp....if this was a house you could have started a fire

did you follow both fuse wires,
there are up to 3 fuses there.
one is alternator. if the fuse goes to the big alternator wire
the alternator is shorted inside, (diode pack blown)
that is how i do it.
you can read the FSM , its there

A fuse is a safety device. It will burn out before any wires or other parts do. In other words, it sacrifices itself to protect other devices.
A 60 amp fuse prevents any current over 60 amps to reach parts that can be damaged by that high rating.

This is a powerful one (720W), I SUPPOSE the starter or the cooling fan.
