it still seems like somethings grounded, did you check all wires for cracks or arcing around your power wires/alt/starter?

what i usually do to check for shorts is: undo the negative battery terminal, and start pulling fuses one by one. it seems like you have a massive short, so if so when u touch the battery terminal to the battery it should give off a big spark. if thats the case pull fuses untill it doesnt spark as bad then look on that circuit. just make sure your doors are closed, if you have any accessory lights, make sure there off.

lastly but one of the stupidest things you can do, go around wires where you think may be bad or grounded and spray some water on it at night, if you see it arc then you know thats the prob
