I would guess that the short to ground is upstream on the Green line. Perhaps at the tach, or the wipers, or the wiper switch. Leave Fuse 3 out of the car entirely, check and replace any other fuses that may have blown, and start the car up again with the modification that you made to the VR at Bob's direction. Run the engine and check your system voltage with headlights on, etc., and see if you have a nice 13 or 14 volts, which would indicate that the system is charging normally.
