The reason you were able to get the vehicle to start with jumping the ASD relay is because this relay controls the injectors and coils.
So, we need to make sure we are repairing this and not leaving a jumper wire in place of this relay. Basically, that is not safe and can cause stalling or fires in the engine bay so I would not leave that past doing a quick test.
Let's circle back to what exact fuse you were jumping that was burning up the wire.
What I would do is remove that fuse and leave it out and install the others and the relays. Then drive the vehicle to find out if it stalls again. The reason is, it sounds like you have a short in this circuit that is causing the fuses to blow. Removing this fuse will shut down that circuit and if the issue stops then there is something on that circuit that is shorted to ground.
Basically, the current flows from the power source directly to ground rather than through a load which will cause the current flow to go so fast that it generates enough heat to blow the fuse or melt the wire.

Let me know which number fuse this was in the PDC, and we can go from there.
