What causes the 80 amp main fuse on a 95 Mazda protege to blow?

A fuse of that size will only blow when something significant occurs. Has the vehicle been jump started with reverse polarity on the cables? Has the battery shorted or some other condition occurred that causes full current to go through the 80 amp fuse either from the battery or from the alternator? Has the diode plate in the alternator shorted? I don't know what all goes through the 80 amp fuse for that vehicle, but most other circuits will be fused at significantly lower amperage. I'd find a good vehicle manual with a schematic of the electrical system and find out the possible sources of such an energy drain. Good luck. If you discover anything that makes more questions feel free to comment on this question thread again. I'll mark this question to watch for further activity.

What causes the ac fuse's to keep blowing out all the time?
The device that the fuse is protecting is causing the fuse to blow. It could be in the conductors that feed the device. Disconnect the device and see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't, then the wiring to the device is good. If the device is a motor load it could be seized bearing that cause the problem. With the rotor stalled the current will go high and blow the fuse. If you know an electrician, see if the device can be meggered to see if the internal wiring has gone to ground and is short circuiting as this will also cause a fuse to blow.

What causes turn signal fuse to blow on 1995 Chevy G20 van?
Fuses blow because there is too much current. This is typically caused by a short circuit, but it can also be caused by too much load, perhaps from adding extra lights. It is also possible that corrosion on the fuse connector can cause heat, which would also tend to blow the fuse. Check each of the light assemblies and make sure the bulbs are OK and that the wiring is not crimped, cut, or corroded. Sometimes, a wiring harness may go around the edge of a piece of metal and the insulation gets cut, causing a short circuit. It is also possible that the turn signal switch is bad.
