Get a multimeter and check the alternator voltage when the car is idling with no loads (everything off) and loaded (headlights on high beam and blower fan on high). If you have a drop in voltage or if you are reading less than 13 volts at the battery, you have an alternator problem. Good luck.

 A fuse is just protection of the wire so when there is a short, it blows the fuse instead of burning the wire. Too big of a fuse will not protect the wire (wire burns, fuse just fine) & too small of a fuse will pop an open circuit too soon.
