Burning out a fuse means one thing. An overload of current occurs. I don't
care what else you think it might be. It's still an overload. Out of all
the changes you have done or all your replacements, look for a positive wire
sticking out from somewhere or exposed that touches ground at some point in
time. It's obviously able to touch ground and spring back because you seem
to be able to snap out of it. When you find it let us know what it was.

Subject: DML: Dodge techs needed!!!!! Help!
OK, heres the deal. I have a 96 Dakota 5.2 5 speed, 2WD. Lately it has
started to burnout the Auto Shut Down fuse in the engine compartment. It
seems to only do it as I am taking off from a stop sign, or just starting to
back up. I have a factory service manual, have traced all the wiring and
found many things hooked in this circuit. Both 02's, ASD relay, fuel pump
relay, all 8 injectors, ignition coil etc. Heres a run down on the truck.
The battery is mounted in the bed, it has March pullies, 24 lb/hr Ford
Motorsports injectors, an MSD Blaster SS coil, and a bunch of other non
electrical mods. Under load going up a freeway at full throttle, it will
start to shut down, like complete electrical shut down. If I feather the
throttle it comes right back to life. It only shuts down for a split
second,
but its totally noticeable! I'm thinking it has to do with the
generator/charging system. Too much of a load burning th efuse out. Heres
some more history. My original alternator was replaced with an aftermarket
rebuilt. With the rebuilt alt I went through 3 PCMS before I bought a new
Dodge alternator. It kept burning out my PCMS. Any ideas? Any
body??????????
