First thing to do is pull ALL THE FUSES then connect metre up, and watch as you put fuses back one at a time to narrow down circuit which is shorted.
Try first disconnecting alternator and taking readings for short as a dodgy diode pack can do this.

brand new alternator and i have disconnected it from battery to seperate from other lives to see if that was problem but no good. what i have found in passenger foot well there are two fuse carriers clipped together yellow and brown, the yellow one has started to melt terminals the fuse has also stated to melt but hasnt blown

Don't know what these are for but take out fuse, and consumer from feed and try another resistance test to earth, on consumer side of fuseholder.
