Https://ibb.co/vD3tDf8 Click on the link, wiring diagram for your generator, 96 ranger--2.3L. Which fuse is blowing? As you can see, the generator bat terminal has a fusible link on that circuit. See the charge indicator circuit, that is excite voltage w/o that, the generator won't charge.

Ground the alt both engine and battery and see if that helps good luck.
SOURCE: ford ranger truck overheating
I have had this happen with my ranger. Changed everything I could to try to fix the over heating. It turned out that I had a small leak in my head gasket and it was allowing exsaust gas to go into the cooling system witch was over pressurizing it. Also the air from the exsaust will heat up much faster than liquid making your thermostat to read hot and will not be able to blow hot air in the cab because there is no liquid going to the heater core. This happened to me when my blet came off and I tryed to make it home. If you had it over heat for a long peirod of time it may have ripped the head gasket.
SOURCE: keep blowing the starter relay fuse on my 1995 ford ranger
Had similiar problem on a old Austin Alegro 25 years ago.
2 reasons.
Starter had worn wire insulation. Used industrial yelow sticker foil on that.
Fuse blow in sane curve highway every time. Car was repainted and wire harness reinstalled unprofessionally previous owner.
Crawled half a day every square mm and yep a litle broke insulation on a positive cable grounding to chassis an blowing the fuse.
SOURCE: 1991 ford ranger 3.0 eec relay fuse keeps blowing fuel good no sp
I understand that there is a relay box under the hood with 3 relays. Which is which I don't know. However if you are blowing the fuse TO the ecc relay, then the relay must be bad. This relay controls the spark.
