I checked the OE diagram. You are correct - there is no fuse on the main cable to the starter.

Why no circuit protection? Good question. :silly: With a few exceptions, it's been my experience that most starter main cables aren't fused. My Nissan and both Fords aren't.

Last vehicle I saw with a fused main starter cable was a Range Rover...
