Maybe the drivetrain movement is causing a short and that’s why you’re not picking it up when testing with a DMM and the battery unplugged? I see that you shook the cables though which would be more movement than from the engine/transmission rocking around during load…
Hey Averying, thanks for the reply! I can leave it idling for longer than 30 mins, blip or hold the revs, etc without it blowing the fuse. Once i start driving it blows the fuse within a few mins, and that degraded from 10+ mins on the first fuse.

Agreed, though the movement I made still doesn't shake everything everywhere, only where I could reach. I'll keep hunting for a short, but that could be a long long search, and it feels like I'm chasing a ghost.
