Sounds like a bare wire or short in that particular circuit??
I have a dream, and that is a 69 Boss 302 with Jules Asner in it.

What fuse keeps blowing? Did you ever get a voltage reading across battery with alternator connected? Let's calm down, be more descriptive of what's happening and let's get you back on the road.

All other available options on both

Sounds like a problem I had with my '98.
Less than a year after I bought it, it started blowing fuses for the heater/AC blower.
I went nuts trying to find it (ask anyone who knows me) because it would sometimes last for weeks, sometimes not 10 minutes.
It turned out to be a wiring harness which ran across the back of the engine, between the rear head, and the firewall; passenger's side.
The harness was rubbing against a lifting 'eye', probably used in assembly. The edge of the eye was sharp, and the engine vibration had cut through the harness, and killed my blower when the enging rocked fore and aft, as it does in a FWD car.
There are so many wires in that harness it could have blown any number of fuses. Just the luck of the draw.
Push the harness out of the way, and cover the 'eye' with something. I used a short piece of split heater hose.
Good luck.
Hugh
