I have been having alot of electrical problems. It started with the 75 amp fuse blowing, so I replaced it. Not too long after it blew again, so I replaced it again and found a little short in the wiring. Fixed the short then alot of my fuses in the kickpanel started blowing. It turned out one of the acc. relays was bad, then my flasher unit for the blinkers went out. So I fixed that. But now it blew the 75 amp again. Im thinking that my alt. is overcharging the system. I ripped out my whole dash looking for shorts or loose grounds. Everything is perfect, any ideas?ANY help apreciated greatly

thanks.

Nope, I get payed today so that will be next. I looked it up on the shopkey at my school and it said the voltage regulator was built into the alt. Also ive been noticing like leaking batter acid at the top of my battery. I think I answered my own question but just needed some one to agree
