2013 superjet wont start

My situation has the following issues. First issue was the superjet wouldnt start like the battery connections were bad. Tighten the battery cables and finally turned right over. Went to ride the next day and same situation happened, turned over then totally nothing happened the next time i tried to start it. Starter didnt turn over nothing. Thought i saw a puff smoke from something drawing to much amperage. Checked the 10 amp fuse in the box, and was blown. Put a new fuse is and blown after i hit the start switch. Pulled the box and jumped the starter solenoid and i could hear the starter spinning but not turning over the engine. Starter or bendix?

Anything is possible with electronics. Pull Ebox and start checking every wire, Do continuity checks, see if any Positive Wire is going to ground. That is typically what would be causing a fuse to blow.
 
Something is causing the fuse to blow so you need to find it. Something in the wiring isnt right if you replaced it and it immediately blew. When you jumped the post and only the bendix spun is just a low battery or loose connection and it didnt have enough juice to spin the bendix fast enough. I would find the reason for the blown fuse, and work from there.
 
Ok thanks. I will get the ohm meter out and check it out again. I was thinking the starter and benix or both of them together was causing the amp draw, but didnt make sense when the starter just spun with fresh battery
