Post Has anyone had these issues?

My 1995 Limited is randomly blowing the DRL fuse (#26). I can replace the fuse but shortly after it blows again. I did have it blow as I was shifting from Drive to Park but after replacing the fuse and trying it again it did not blow. A similar problem has been identified on this board but their solution was never posted.
At the same time my alternator has started vibrating and making a racket (much akin to a diesel) but only when I am in Drive and stopped. As soon as I switch to Park it stops or as soon as I release the brake and accelerate it quits as well. Both times it stops due to higher engine RPM’s. I have read a few posts in regards to the bearings going on an alternator but I am unsure if it would produce the symptoms I am hearing.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as these both have the feel of being costly
Thanks

Loud alternators = bad bearings. Get it replaced before you go down the road and the battery goes dead. Don't ask me how I know this...
