My bad. It's not in the box by the battery, it's in the positive battery cable where it clamps onto the terminal.
But you don't need to check it because I can guarantee that it is good. If Fusable Link A were bad, not only would the altenator not work, absolutely NOTHING would work. It would be like someone stole your battery. My brain was evidentially out to lunch.
Since you have checked the 7.5 amp fuse, that kind of points at the altenator being bad. If you want to make one last check before you take the altenator back, pull off the 4 pin connector from the altenator and measure for 12 volts on the yellow/black stripe wire (pin # 3). This is from the 7.5 amp fuse and 12 volts there says the wire harness is OK. The ignition switch does not have to be on.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you, but that is not a valid test. That wire goes directly to the battery (through Fusable Link A) so you will always measure 12 volts there (or whatever the battery reads).

check the ground right above the alternator. a wire from your alternator goes to a plug then the plug goes to a metal piece that grounds to your engine. i just fixed mine a hour ago by tightening that bolt. now im gettin great charge.
