my 1996 dakota keeps blowing the automatic shutdown relay fuse.
anybody have any suggestions on where to start looking for a short or
other things that would do this.

check at the downstream o2 sensor harness it usually rubs through on the heat shield and shorts out

yes there was a small spot rubbed through the insulation. taped it up and made sure it would'nt rub on anything. put a new fuse in and we were back in business. thanks for the info
