alternator..

okay, my car messed up bad the past weekend, everything died pretty much all at once. we thought it was a bad alternator, but finally we found that the alternator fuse was blown, so we replaced it and started the car, the battery light went away, everything sounded normal again.. but as soon as i went to go park, the fuse blew again. it blows everytime the needle on the speedometer starts to move. what could it be? i think it's the speed sensor, but any kind of ideas would be good....
