Default Alternator fuse keeps blowing

I have a 1995 Crown Victoria 4.6L.. Dropped my son off at prom, got on the freeway doing 55+ car to the right exiting, dangerously merges back onto the freeway shoulder to my right throwing gravel all over, I hit my brakes my horn and my vocals.
Then I notice my check engine, air bags and ABS dash lights are on, so I start checking all my gauges and notice my charge is dropping fast, get parked shut engine off try to start engine and ..nothing, not a tic...I know that could be coincidence.

checked all the wiring around bat, everything good, checked ground, good.
Put my bat in sisters car, her car started rite up. put my bat back in my car, charge is good all the lights, bells, and whistles work,, check fuses.. #2 - 30A under hood blown. replace it, car starts everything seems fine, while driving gas peddle seems weird so i punch it a little all the dash lights come back on and volts going down, get home shut it off, wont start, same fuse out.

I know its the Alternator/ solenoid fuse and I know the Alternator moves faster when you hit the gas, but why is the fuse blowing every time?.
Help please!!!!

Checked volts on battery, 12.46v started car 14.36..turned on lights /brights, radio,heater,whippers...everything good, reved it up,, blew fuse.replaced it drove it to auto parts store they put it on the tester...charge is good, Alternator good, removed hot wire from alternator started it up, reved it up,,blew fuse.

took it home removed housing for fuse box located wire to fuse, marked it, put fuse box back together, still trying to locate possible short...any advise will help..
