Default H-T HELP!. battery fuse keeps blowing

Ok hooked up my JRSC. Everything is done time for start up. Try and start nothing happens, nothing in car is coming on. So i check the fuse box under the hood and see the Batter Fuse 80A is blown. SO i buy a new one install it, Negative terminal isnt connected so i connect the Negative terminal to the battery and....spark spark its on check fuse, and its Blown again.

1. Why does it keep blowing after i coonect the negative?
2. should i connect both terminals first then replace the fuse?
3. Please any help would be great blew 3 of them already one more left.

not really. the order in which you connect the wires has alot to do with blown fuses

the order has more to do with safety... you likely have a short somewhere in that circuit. when you connect the ground to the battery that makes all of your "grounds" ground. (i swear there is a better way to put that...) there's a hot wire somewhere grounding and when you hook the neg bat cable it shorts the fuse. start lookin'

is the power wire going to the alternator tightly secured. if its loose it will cause a voltage spike and blow the fuse

found the problem. it was the alt touching the charger via white powerstrip. All i had to do was take off the iwre and turn it around.
