Having dealt with the demonic Toyota Motor Company electric system, any high current draw like tail light actiavtion at night with the headlamps on full can pull the amps out of a poorly seated alternator plug.
Ford has some very specfic earthing requirements.
I would try JACooks Shot Glass electrical contact cleaning with mineral terpintine being my poison of choice.
I have solved all electrical drain issues at the alternator with my son and daughter and wifes Toyotas. Toyotas between 1988 and 1996 are the worst offender. Sometimes, Fords start beaving like Toyotas....
The modern electric system has some issues when you mix and match alternators, and the stock in service plugs can cause really strange electrcial gremilins.

Had the very same fault on three T0yot@'s...a 1982 T130 (RT132), an 1993 T180 Coronary, and, just recently, the AE92 Corollary.

Its NOT the interior light.
I've only got 16, ooops, 23, fuses to pull. I'm taking bets on which one the loss is at...
Im taking a votes for which one of the 14 interior fuses and 7 engine compartment fuses is the problem.
21 fuses to cheat me out of going to the next level!
Watch out...I CHARGE BY THE HOUR.
(I'm at 13.47 volts now!)
Maybee 23 if you include the battery terminal circuit fuses.
22 = AM2 30A
23 = AM1 60A
1 = CHARGE 7.5A
2 = FAN I/UP 7.5A
3 = DOME 10A.... NOT THIS, it works fine, and no load when doors are shut.
4 = HAZARD-HORN 15A
5 = FAN 30A
6 = HEADLIGHT (LH) 10A
7 = HEADLIGHT (RH) 10A
I havent included the relays
8 = STOP 15A 11 = RNGINE 7.5A 14 = IGN 10A 17 = GAGE 7.5A 20 = SEAT HTR 20A
9 = RADIO 7.5A 12 = WIPER 20A 15 = TAIL 15A 18 = TURN 10A 21 = ECU-1G 15A
10 = ECU B 10 A 13 = CIG 15A 16 = FOG 15A 19 = SUN ROOF 20 A.....Although I've had a key stuck in my Mustang and marooned on the drive, and self inflicted the overspending of two 12 V 55 A-H batteries on three nights from 2011 to 2015, I've never had parasitic fusing issues like the Toyotas have. Oh yeah, I blew a 32 year old radiator hose three times, and three alloy top water necks and killed a radiator. But every time, dead easy to get going again. I love Fords simple, easy wiring. Toyotas, always the same 23 step road to Nirvana...after you;ve checked all that, its likely to be something else...
Oh yeah it was the three pin alternator plug, and Fuse 23 were the problem, although AM1 60 amp was my fault...I fused it when I jumpered my battery at night to reliven the Toyota on the way to my second job.
Here's what I did to fix it.
I removed the three pin "pre OBDII" plug from the alternator,
dipped and shaked and stirred and agitated it in a CRC lid full of mineral terps to clear the white lithium disulphide someone had put on the pins.
Then CRC 556'd the living crud out of it. No improvement straight away, Car still wouldn't start unless it was push started....and then... I SAW IT!
AM1 60 Amp fuse, blown!
I grabbed my spare 1992 Corolla 1.8 Diesel AM1 80 Amp fuse, and slotted it in. Blew it right away. So I unhooked my auxilary battery, and placed the positive terminal on last. 14.47 volts charging....Systems go!
A big Bailterspace Wammo! to ya, Mr Toyoda!

I have found the short, somehow I managed to pinch a wire going to the rear of the car on the drivers ride when I removed the seat. The only way that I found the short was the seal plate screws were giving off 0.4 of a volt enough to give a shock. But for the power window fuse, is it ok to use a regular 20amp fuse, instead of the relay block???
Power windows use a breaker, it resets. Why do you need a fuse?

I fixed the wire, but the breaker will work sometimes but most of the time it does not. The reason I asked about the fuse is in the owner's manual it calls this breaker a 20amp fuse. I did not want to harm anything for replacing the breaker with a fuse.
Just to see if it would work I replaced the breaker with a 20amp fuse and everything works, the windows, the break lights, and now even cooling fan. I put 19.8 amps of power through the breaker, this caused the buzzing that I have heard since I bought the car
Interesting, because those three things should have nothing to do with each other. The fan and brake lights on on a different fuse and the window is its own separate breaker, but what do i know.

I don't understand it either but hey it works.
Are the window motors drawing too much current? They could be under a heavy load, like gummed up tracks or old motor getting worn out??

Freshly cleaned and oiled tracks and new window motors. I made sure to set the felt window slide in the middle of the door loose.
