electrical help please!!
First off hi to everyone i'm new to this forum. I bought an 86 toyota 4x4 truck,carb...not fuel inj. It had an idle problem The fuel cut off valve wasn't getting voltage,so i checked the fuses and found the ign fuse blown. After replacing the fuse i noticed that the charge light is on but my alt is charging at arround 14.5 volts,also i checked for voltage while running at the choke heater,there is only.7 volts there. As near as i can tell the choke is fed from the alternator. has anyone come accross this problem? If so where do i look to fix it? Thanks in advance,Tom.

I removed the drivers side kick panel but didn't find a green box.I did find an emission computer on the pass side?
I realy want to find out what happened,so it won't happen when i'm miles from the nearest road.But if i have to i'll just run a hot from the acc. in the fuse block.
How do i get the charge light to function properly now? I know it's charging but if thi light doesn't work properly i could get into some trouble. Thanks,Tom.
