Usually that fuse powers the alternator and the fuse box. It would have to be a big short to ground to blow that fuse. Its possible the main wire to the alternator is touching a metal spot, or the alternator is shorting out inside when it is running. What is draining the battery may be something else, or the battery could be discharging after the fuse blows if the alternator is not charging it.
Change all your relays,especially in the engine bay,check your idler control valve/servo for faulty or short circuited.Also check all the fuse boxes for contamination,Spray with circuit board cleaner or something similar.
Check the positive wire from the battery to the power distribution and starter locations and make sure you don't have any bare spots allowing a short. If that is good then take the alternator out and have it tested. Either the Alternator or the voltage regulator are malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is incorporated into the Alternator. Auto Zone, Pep Boys and Advance Auto can test this for you. If either is bad replace it. If the Alternator checks out then you need to check teh relays in the power Distribution center under the hood and the main bus at that location.
Check Battery connects,Cables.Clean !Also to engine ground. Then Alternator belt tension.Listen for slippage. Check connection on starter relay,and bolts on starter, tap on starter while a buddy starts engine,with the key. Could be bad brushes in starter and or bad relay at starter.
Is you battery going dead? How old is the battery? After 4-5 years a battery is bad and needs to be replaced.
It sounds like you didn't replace the alternator?
Do you get a click when you try to start and it wont start?
Also check the grounds on the starter they could have corroded and this would cause an non-normal starting pattern. To chech these locate them, usually close to that starter and screwed into the frame of the vehicle. Unscrew them and take a wire brush and clean them very good making sure to expose bare metal. Do the same to the frame where it is screwed into.
Make sure to unhook you battery before doing anything!
Reply with the answer to the questions and we can go from there.
is it the same seal? it sounds like something was not installed good, or a burr on the axle, i would get a second look at another garage to see exactly whats going on, then take it back to the shop that rebuilt it, if it the same seal it could be a defective axle, good luck hope this helps.
Go get the battery and alternator tested for free at the auto parts store. For some reason the alternator isn't charging the battery while your driving.
