Blown Starter Fuse

I got a new F-150 a few months ago and just recently it would not start. It would not turn over at all. All lights, radio , etc worked fine. After having it towed to dealership, found out it had blown a starter fuse. They kept it for three days tracing all wiring and harnesses, but to no avail. I finally picked it up, but am keeping spare fuses with me just in case. This has me a little paranoid! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You are doing everything I would do. If it happens again, I would suspect something is wrong inside the starter, since they looked the wiring over. Maybe there was something wrong with the fuse. It may never happen again. Keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks, one good thing is that it took 3000+ miles to happen, so it probably isn't any defective wiring so I hope it was something just as simple as a defective fuse. My fingers are crossed! Thanks for your help!
