Check if anything is wired directly to the little fuse box behind the battery on the drivers side (uk) I had day light running leds wired to mine they got wet and started drawing too much current and blowing the ignition fuse under the dash
I've managed to dig out my wiring diagrams for the 1994 80 series. I have them on cd rom somewhere but cannot find it at the mo.
Excuse the scrawl but hopefully these should be of some help. Writing is small but you should be able to zoom in.
Hope this is of some help. Not sure if this is available elsewhere in the FSM for instance.
Yours is a 96, which of course could be different. According to these drawings, which seem to be for a petrol though there is likely some common ground, the ign 7.5A fuse only feeds the alternator volt sense and alternator light. You really need the drawing that pertains to your exact vehicle.

Many many thanks for the drawings, the problem is real mystery, mine is a 4-2 diesel, but the latest is I started the truck over 100 times, when it didn't start last time the fuse had not blown, I don't if I mentioned that the sockets for towing the sparkie disconnected as he said t be problem was there, coincidence I had a wet patch in the boot, took the panel off where the Jack lives and signs of water was there, looking in there I'm wondering if that's where they have taken some wiring from for lights and indicators I'm no expert but touch wood problems seem to have gone away

If that water has got to where the trailer socket relay is (the bit that beeps when you indicate) these relays don't like being in water and can blow fuses like that. Check it out and see.
Water in the jack area… check your side rear windows… have you had them film tinted? They remove the glass and replace it, often without cleaning off the sealant that can be present.
Possible, especially if you aimed it closely at a window rubber, or you may have a small rust patch in the wheel arch that the pressure washer has blasted into a hole. Worth a check with a torch.

Guys, you seem to be t be ones with loads of knowledge, going back to the ign fuse blowing, I washed the truck yesterday and had the hose on the sliding rear Windows nearside water was dripping into the panel where the Jack lives are those windows totally reliant the seals or is there a drain hole somewhere in the bottom grove ?
