Ok i have searched and searched. I found many threads and ive tried everything anyone has said.
I just got an alternator (and yes the alternator is good it was checked before it went on my car) I put the alternator on and once i go to connect the positive terminal on my battery. The fuse goes boom! I then realized i am an idiot and left the one wire on the alternator, directly touching the alternator. So i put a homemade plastic washer in the middle. No metal is touching this cable now. Its only touching the threaded bolt. Ok so after replacing the 80amp fuse again. I put the battery cables back on. It sparks but doesnt blow the fuse(suprisingly) but the second i fully connect the jumper cables, it blows everytime. The only thing i can think of is the jumper cables are the issue. Ive put this cars back together plenty of times. Always done the alternator the same way everytime and never had an issue. So why now? Its very irritating..
