Ok so I went out this mornign to start my truck, everything is fine until after 45seconds a minute later the truck just shuts itself off completely. No power no nothing. So I went and popped the hood and the 60amp ignition fuse had blown. So I replaced it and tried to start the truck again and nothing. So what seems to be happening is I turn the key to the on position and I can't see any engine lights/abs lights come on the dash, no stereo, no fuel pump priming, nothing. turn the key to start it and it will crank for a couple of seconds, or if I leave it in the ON position it will blow after a few seconds.

So I have looked under the dash and in the engine and can't see anything wrong. I took appart the connections on the battery/starter relay.... and cleaned them all and that didnt change anything. ANy help would be awesome thanks.
 






The only help I can give is to start looking for a short. If that thing is blowing 60 amp fuses, it must be a heck of a wire with a dead short. Start tracing the circuit (get a manual if you need it) the fuse is on and see where it's shorted to ground.
