Unhappy 1995 Avenger A/T

I keep blowing ignition fuse (30Amp) started randomly, and it wasn't when I was starting the car. First time it blew I was driving at 65 mph not pushing it, it shut the entire car off, I thought I had blown the alternater but it tested perfect and after changing fuse I was able to make the 50 miles back to my house just fine. Next day was driving to get new fuse at about 35mph it blew again. Changed the fuse with another new one, it drove fine for 2 days then died again while on my way home from work at 45mph, this time not so easy I changed fuse and it blew instantly. Got towed home and been working on it ever since. Now as soon as I turn the key from Aux to start it blows....Looking for ANY ideas on where to start. Starter has been tested and tests fine as well. I've already changed my starter relay too.

I have a 95 2.5 too. Same problem. Check the crankshaft position sensor. The first time it blew the same fuse as yours. I changed that sensor and got another week use out of it. Been parked since January now. Gunna go test the relays under hood on drivers side mounted on fire wall. Good luck and if you hit me up I'll let you know how it goes. L8z

Check the bundle of wires on the rear of the motor running to the alternator , I've seen a few with the insulation cooked off and cause same symptoms
