here i found something that covers 77-78 but yours shold be simlar. aslo the yellow/gren wire leading form relay also powers low brake switch and parking brake switch so then may have something to do with you fuse blowing. hope you can blow these up enough.

Thank you, very helpful information. Where is the auto choke relay located, is it under the hood and where, or under the dashboard and where? My Haynes repair manual doesn't show a specific location in the schematic.
