Also just could be cause it got wet, once dried out might be fine. I'd throw another fuse in it and see what happens.

so i just had time to go look at it and i think i found my problem, the wire connecting to the alternator melted clean off, which i belive then shook around and bumped into a ground and then blew the fuse. gg me for putting in a 120 amp alternator and keeping the stock power wire 
ill try and get some pics of what happened later.
