The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Keeps blowing fuses

Had the same thing happen to me when I made the jump to 12volts and a larger alternator. I moved the alternator charge wire to the non-fused side of the fuse holder (where the positive battery cable attaches) and it stopped blowing fuses. The 50amp fuse was smaller than the alternator capacity, which sounds like the same problem you might be having.
