Default Blown fuse(alternator/speedsensor)

I keep blowing this fuse. I was wondering if anybody has an idea on this? I disconnected the speedsensor to see if it was the problem, but it still did it. The alternator is charging fine with no problem. Is there anything else on that fuse?

may want to check your o2 sensor wires and make sure the insulation on them isn't stripped and NOT touching any part of the chassis (car). I had similar problems.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with. Turns out, since I unhooked the o-2 sensor(secondary) I haven't blown one yet. Thanks

sweet! I had three different issues with fuses and sourced it to my o2 sensors. First, I had a poorly installed custom exhuast that pinched the second o2 against the heat shield, and stripped the wires which shorted out the o2 heating system, apparently on the same circuit as the speed sensor/altenator. Second problem was when I was poking around the wiring harness and touched the wrong wires (o2 heating wires) that shorted it out. Third problem was installing an a/f ratio from both the first o2 and second o2 (I'm an idiot, tried to see if there was a diff).
