@Coolerman , @Pin_Head @Poser and others wondering if you guys could help me understand the charge circuit on my 62.
The charge light, brake light and A/T temp light are all illuminated on the dash. My alternator is brand new. All fuses are good, and I get 14V at the battery when running. I am thinking there is something wrong with the cheap alternator I bought, and I have ordered a reman from Toyota. In the meantime I have been trying to understand the wiring diagram.
I am trying to understand how the "Charge light relay" works. Top right of diagram in first link. I can see how the three lights are connected, but I dont understand how electricity flows to make the light come on. I just dont understand the relay. I tested it from the WSM and it tested good.

This link is for the alternator:

I spent an hour searching for the right diagrams, and when I found them, I realize I am not smart enough to figure them out!
Thank you!
