Response:

Sounds like the fuse link on the starter. Easy fix is to run a wire from the Positive on the Battery to the Alternator where that RED wire is. But that wont fix why it keeps blowing. Blown Fuse Link is usually a sign of a dead short. Probably from an aftermarket Radio or Amp Combonation that someone who didn’t know what the proper installation was. Common mistake for inexperience. That and aftermarket remote starters.

How about a loose starter creating a bad starter ground, or a bad engine ground.
