2002 Olds Aurora: I overloaded the 12v outlet and while replacing the fuse, must have shorted the starter circuit. Can't find a blown fuse. Are there other breakers or fuses besides the ones in two fuse boxes--one under hood and one under rear seat -- like an inline fuse?

 

Optional Information:
2002 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5 Liter

Already Tried:
Checked all fuses labeled "Ignition". All OK. Didn't check relay #36 which is identified as "Starter 1" since it seems to be soldered in. Would have interchanged relays with other circuits having same relay number but they're not socket type relays.

Did you check the pcm ign fuse?That relay isn't soldered in by the factory I can tell you that much.Did you replace the cigar lighter fuse under the hood?When checking fuses use a meter not your eyes because you can't always see a blown fuse trust me I have been there before.Let me know if your check engine light comes on with the key in the run position also.
