I keep blowing the 7.5 A IGN. fuse

I have a 84 / 83 Toyota truck ( title says 1984 / sitcker on the cab says Oct.1983 ) with the 22R engine. First off my brake & charge light wont turn off. From what I understand it would be a deffective charge light relay that is causing this problem. From what I have read it would be located underneath the pass. kick panel. There is nothing there but the emmission control comp. The wiring diagram shows two yellow wires and a blk. & wht. wire going to it. There is a connector in that area that is not being used that has two green wires and a blk. & wht. wire in it. Could this be the connector for the relay and the previous owner just took it out?

Second, my 7.5 A ignition fuse keeps blowing. When this happens the charge light goes out & the engine will not idle. If I keep the gas pedal pressed a little it will run though. If I replace the fuse it idles fine until the fuse blows again which takes 10 mins. - 2 days. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS

Thanks, I'll pull the alternator and have it checked. That ignition fuse is still confusing me though. The only wiring diagram that I can find that shows the ignition is the engine wiring diagram, but there is no mention of the 7.5 A fuse in the diagram. Does anyone know where I could find a complete diagram?

A Factory Service Manual for your year truck (or similar) will have a complete wiring diagram:

I pulled the alternator and had it checked. It is a good alternator. Any other ideas on the charge / brake light situation?
