1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

my battery keeps going dead after driving around the block but later recharges itself after awhile. Alternator is charging. Also I keep blowing the fuse that allows the car to start.

If the battery recharges itself, it is good. If you had the alt checked and it is good, then you have a short drawing power from the battery.

Here is a way to check for battery draw.

Let me know if it helps.
