Fuse Keeps Blowing!

Fuse Keeps Blowing!
I have a 15amp fuse that controls the gauges and tachometer that keeps blowing on my 88 Toyota pickup. Seems to blow when the engine is started or shut off. Thinking a short or power surger. Was hoping someone might have experienced this and know what is going on?
Thanks,
CJ

I had the same problem. I switched out my alternator with a spare I had. Haven't had an issue since. I think it was a faulty regulator that was sending, like you thought, a surge through the line.

I had both alts tested and they both came back good also. Mine would happen at so many different times, but work fine for a day or two then back to blowing fuses. If you swap out with a new one and it still does it then you're chasing a short.
