Blowing 15amp starter motor circuit fuse

[tomg]

I have a 52 reg c220cdi and 2 weeks ago ignition no response.Called out recovery and fortunatly an x merc mechanic came.He found fuse no 52 start enable (15amp) blown,replaced and started no problem for 2 weeks he said a possible power surge.Today it has blown three 15 amp fuses.Put in 30 amp just to get me home and it started ok but reluctant to try again.
The relays are not marked up so is there a starter relay ??? or does it sound like a starter motor solonoid or the motor itself???
Any help woul be appreciated
Thanks

This is why i wrote this thread, only thing i will say, that 15amp fuse should at one time been up rated to a 20 amp, try that first, if that fails then new starter.
