Re: Alternator fuse#4 keeps popping
Disconnect plug from alternator. Run engine. Does fuse still blow?
If you have a wiring diagram you would see the ALT fuse #4 covers far more than just the alternator:
AF heater relay
O2 heater
ELD
Cruise switch, actuator, and control unit
VSS
EVAP PURGE, CVS, and BP solenoids
*This is not a shopping list of parts to replace.
This is a list of things to inspect and test.
Don't ignore the wiring.
