The alternator fuse link keeps on blowing out on my 97 mitsubishi 3000 gt.and killing the alternator as well

According to the owners manual, the #13 fuse is for the alternator. There is a problem in the charging circuit. You should check all of the wiring to the alternator/battery. Maybe even remove the alternator and have it checked at an auto parts store.

There is a fuse that controls this process other than the one that blows out..

If they go out, you need to go back to that shop and have them repair it correctly. Apparently they had someone work on it that didn\'t know jack about installations. I imagine they didn\'t install a relay and hooked it up to the alternator directly and somehow grounded the alternator with something in the car. If your blowing alternator fuses, that is serious in most cases since the alternator puts out heavy amps. Be sure your using the proper amperage fuse for the installation as well. Try returning to shop that installed the stuff and don\'t let them get away with keeping your car that long. That is ridiculous and if your not happy with their attitudes, report them to the BBB.

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.

Make sure that is the correct amp fuse for that ,the alternator,also,check the large wire on the alternator,make sure it is not touching anything.

See the attached link, it will give you everything including photos.

Manual says to remove the radiator but if you remove the bolts holding the radiator and push it out of the way it is possible to remove the alternator through the top but it takes some work to wiggle it out.

97 grand prix GT keeps blowing ignition fuse why?

The wiring harness coming from the solonoid/power distribution has one small guage wire splitting into three different medium guage wires. I have ran into this problem quite often on mustangs, and what I have found that works is take the split out of it, and run all three wires with fusible links added to them straight from the solonoid
