Meter fuses keep blowing out on 1996 nissan altima

the first thing to do is to check things like the trunk/boot light is not staying on then if you are a technical then use a multimeter on amps setting in series with a disconnected battery terminal neg is best. then start to remove fuses from the fuse boxes one at a time until you find the current drain the drain should only be a few milliamps ie,100 or less not then you have a clue to the problem area make sure all doors are latched before you test

Something is draining the power I recommend you take it to a mechanic or a friend to be checked, hard to say what may be the problem without looking around.

Clearly something is draining the power.

this may be helpfull

How I would address it...

* Shut down the car and pull the keys.
* Disconnect a battery ground, and connect ampere meter in the break.
* See how much is "drain" on the battery.
* Start pulling fuses, one-by-one, and see, when "drain" stops.
* When you find, which fuse stops the drain, you start digging, what is on that circuit.

Alternatively you may keep battery connectors on, but when you pull the fuse, connect ampere meter to both terminals to see what is the power consumption on that particular circuit.

PS. Another thought... It could be not a "drain when car is off", but rather "incorrect charging" while car is on. For example, if alternator produces too high or too low charge voltage, it may "kill" the battery, and it cannot hold "normal drain".

did you test the in line fuse that runs in the longer of the two wires that return from the positive battery cable

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.

I know how you feel about the driving crazy thing lol haha. Have your alternator checked out. It could be bad. If your alternator is bad, your battery WILL NOT CHARGE!! Or if thats not the prolem, then you could just have a bad battery. Check your alternator fuse in your fuse box/panel. Hope this helps, James Booth

no out put from alternator from either alternator failure or possibly belt failed from being in contact with deep snow?visually inspect belt.if thats ok you need your charging system checked out.

At a guess I would say that the main fuse is blown. Look for it either at the battery terminal or alternatively, in the fuse box. It will be somewhere in the region of around 50 amps.

any help on this yet? I have the same problem...

You might have a parasitic drain on your battery. Meaning something isn't shutting off like it should be draining your battery. Your positive battery cable might be shorted to ground not allowing power to flow.
