Let's not get side tracked on that. Gary is taking 12v and multiplying by 10a and saying that you have to have 120 watts to blow the circuit breaker. Instead, I think you should try this approach: 1) Tape off the pink wire that goes to the fuel sender. We're not going to 'untape' it, for any reason, until we have all other charging system issues fixed. 2) Put a fresh, known to be good, fuse in slot #3 and put the CB tester and test light on the floor. 3) Turn the key first to the ON position, but do not start the car, and observe the charging light on the dash (should be on). If it is not on, stop the testing and report back. If it is on, start the car and see if the light goes out and the ammeter gauge is working properly. Report back.
