My Truck is burning the starter fuse every time. I've been able to get it to start by putting a metal washer in place of the fuse but now it seems that isn't working anymore.

check to see what has burnt up since yo put a direct wire in it. the starter may have been drawing to many amps or there is a short someplace in the wiring. you are very lucky you didn't catch your truck on fire
