Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly
Without being able to "hands on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the repeatedly blowing fuse, none of us can identify the specific defect which is causing your problem.
Therefore, the following generic answer can be applied to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle, or in a building, whether direct current [DC], or alternating current [AC].
Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] and other components from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which cause an extremely large flow of electrical current [measured in Amperes], which causes overheating of the conductors that results in damage to the insulation and the conductors.
And in a worst case scenario, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.
When a fuse or Circuit Breaker [and replacement fuses, or repeatedly "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The fuse or circuit breaker is doing what it was designed, intended, and installed to do; that is to protect the conductors and components of the circuit which it serves.
The proper "fix" for this issue is for a qualified technician, who knows what he or she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].
Some ignorant few people will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only increase the hazard, not correct it.
Do not follow "bad" advice by installing a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install an oversized fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and the probability of an electrical system fire.

Is there a fuse for your alternator on your 2001 BMW 740i?
Yes, the 2001 BMW 740i has a fuse related to the alternator, typically found in the fuse box. This fuse is responsible for protecting the electrical system associated with the alternator. If there are issues with the alternator not charging the battery, it's a good idea to check this fuse along with the alternator itself. Always consult the owner's manual for the exact fuse location and specifications.

not usually!!if fuse is blowing out check for short!!
Where is the alternator fuse for a 2001 Ford Taurus?
The alternator fuse for a 2001 Ford Taurus is located in the engine compartment fuse box. Specifically, it is usually labeled as the "ALT" fuse and is typically a 20-amp fuse. To access it, open the hood, locate the fuse box near the battery, and check the diagram on the cover for the exact position of the alternator fuse. Always ensure the vehicle is off before inspecting or replacing fuses.
