Default Buzzing and Choke Light On

Hey guys,

I just started having an issue with the CHOKE light staying on and an annoying buzzing sound coming from the dash. From what I have read from other posts on this forum is that some people have found that it is generally either a bad choke relay or alternator diode. Considering that both my electric choke is working and my alternator is charging, what would this mean?

This must be for your 80, right?

Mine did that. It was the fuse under the dash.

The top-right fuse that says "CH". But if you are under there anyway, check them all.

EDIT: Images from the internet show this as "4H", which I suspect is incorrect, it will say "CH" on the car.

But I found this handy troubleshooting image.
