hopefully the problem has been solved, turns out it was not anything directly in the electrical system...I hadone of the metal A/C lines bumping up against the ground bolt on the alternator. Thanks all for the help.

 

MMM.. it is not the fix unless the a/c line was touching against a power source,,
the only way to blow a fuse is to give gound to a power wire or a power wire shorted to gound,,
a/c line has no power source,, ground bolt has no power source so fuse cannot blow ,,
was a/c line also touching alt hot wiring ?? if so yes fuse will blow. if a/c line was away from power wiring you will have the same issue again ..

 

Yeah. I don't think the alternatorhas a 'ground' bolt. It's grounded thru it's mounting brackets. So I assume he's talking about the big bolted hot wire on the alternator. It's supposed to have a rubber boot over the bolt, right?

 

hmm ok, I have a split wire going into the alternator.. one is the main plug that is covered by the rubber boot, and then there is another that is split off of that one that looks like a ground that is bolted to the front side of the alternator.

 

The multi-wire plug has control signals, warning light wire,field excitation, or whatever. The big wire on the front with a bolt is the HOT power lead that carries all the alternator's power over to the battery. It's supposed to have a rubber boot too.

 

aaaalrighty then, I'll set about putting a rubber boot on there. ok so thats what the metal A/C hose was hitting. that also corresponds to deserts explanation. sweet thanks guys.
