I have an 83 toyota tercel station wagon 4x4 I think it has a trouble shooting in the charging system and it does not charge and also blows the fuses out. I think it can be the charging relay but I don't know where it is located. Can you tell me were it is located please?



Due to the problem mentioned above I took out the external alternator regulator and I installed a new internal
regulator, but I dont know how to switch the cables or wires. Could you please help out on that?
