i have a dmm with a diode check but reads ohms i think. not volts. it reads 1206 and 460 . diode trio is still connected to field coil and regulator.

what puzzles me is that the 15 amp fuse (code CB-3) for the charge relay, alternator, fuel cut solenoid, thermo switch keeps blowing.

with the key on (engine off), the battery (charge) and fuel sedimentor warning lamps goes off when i put in a fuse on CB-3. these two lamps comes back on when i remove the fuse. btw, these two lamps are connected to each other via the charge relay.
