2.3 ignition problem

I have a 95 ranger with the 2.3 and i keep blowing a fuse under the hood and after it blows the engine goes dead and wont crank until i replace it. I just recently had to replace the computer from straight wiring it and after that it ran fine for about 100 miles then i replaced the fuse it ran for a while withouth blowing it and then it blew again and now the truck just keeps blowing the same fuse everytime i try to crank it. About 4 out 5 times the fuse would blow while making a left turn so I'm thinkin there might be a short in the steering column somewhere like a wire thats twisting up with some of the steering linkage or something? anybody got any ideas? thanks

jmoo8508 fuse blows

I would check the wires at the starter to ensure they are not touching the exhaust. Also check harness at the rs motor mount for wires being "pinched" or cut.
