Well an altimeter will show you what altitude you are at but a multimeter might be better.
But if you are constantly blowing the fuse it suggests that there is a dead short, meaning the live lead is touching the body somehwere. You need to see if it is the left or right wiring, or if it blows straight away it is in the main central lead to the relay probably.
Also a bad earth could do it the rust or oil could cause it. clean up the earths.

yep I pluged in my altimeter and it tells me that its the indicator relay on the main lead, with that unplugged tho i still have about .1 volts showing is that normal ?
Now all I have to do is change it over.
