Thumbs down Ignition Fuse Keeps Blowing ???

Ihave a 98 Dodge Dakota that keeps blowing the main Ignition fuse when the keyis turned to the on/run or start positions. I have looked for shorts and done some testing but cannot find the problem. Is this a common or recurring problem?If you have encountered this please reply.

Is there any obvious water stains? In know the rubber weather strip back by the cowl have a tendency to go bad....had to change mine....was getting water in the fuse box under the Hood...

Possibly a bad ignition switch.

I will move this to the 2nd generation Dakota sub-forum.
