Occasional Fuse Blow.

I have a 1987 toyota pickup and recently I have been blowing a fuse in the fuse panel under the hood.
I have searched and cannot find what the fuse is for but it blows when I try and start the truck. I have put brand new batery cable ends on, just recently got a new battery. Re did the connection to the starter and the grounds. It still blows once in a while.

Anyone know what it is for? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Look on the fuse box cover and it will tell you what circuit it is. Sounds like you have an intermittant short in the ignition circuit.

Take a look at a wiring diagram in the FSM link below.
