Default Alternator???

Hi all,

this is a carryover from my engine thread so apologise all round.

Just to refresh, my battery charging light didn't work, consequently my alternator wasn't charging!!

Spent hours today with the electrickery and still no further on, I have got the charging lamp to illuminate by taking a switched live to the lamp.

I did get the alternator to charge by supplying the relay with a different supply, however when I switched on the ignition the alt light went out??? Then when i started the engine the fuse blew for the relay??

Am i missing something here?? Not fully conversant with car electrics so any help would be appreciated.

In the end I had to walk away and put everything in my hands down before i caused some damage

Hopefully sort it soon though.
