    any ideas on where that short can be? can it be one of the wires that goes to a random fuse in that same fuse box? where do i find these fuses at? autozone employees have no idea what the hell im talking about..

    well i figured out what wire it is...its the white thick wire leading from the big fuse to the power side of the alternator...so what could cause this?

    i dont know because i dont know what year your truck is...put it in your sig or info or something....
    how many amps is the fuse, is it the main one for your fuse block. ( the one between the alt and the fuse block )
