There are half a dozen 15A fuses and none of them are labelled "Ignition".

Another thing...see if the fuse blowing has to do with something you turn on once in a while. I had a fuse going in my truck and noticed it was related to me using the rear wiper.

See my sig. for the FSM, check the wiring chapter, find the fuse and see what's on the same circuit. You may have a short to ground or one of the loads is screwed and is consuming more current.

Tell us what stops working when the fuse blows. Maybe we can figure out which wiring is affected.

Engine fuse feeds the Main Relay when the key is to ON and it feeds the alternators black/white wire on the alt small plug.

It also feeds one of the coils on the Circuit Opening Relay where someone might have installed a fuel cut switch and buggered up the wiring there.

It also feeds the fuel pump thru the circuit opening realy.

It's also tied to the ignition switch.
