A blown fuse to what exactly and it should even though any fuses should be replaced as it goes to operate something signals etc . a bad bulb such as a head light needs replacing but has no effect on the charging system

Yes it will charge the battery unless the fuse that is blown is the one for the charging system. A blown bulb will not stop it from charging.

Will a alternator test bad if it's just the alternator fuse?

Yes, if the alternator fuse is blown, it can cause the alternator to appear as if it's not functioning properly when it's actually fine. The alternator fuse is a critical component of the charging system, as it protects the alternator and the rest of the electrical system from overloads and short circuits.
When the alternator fuse blows, it interrupts the flow of electrical current from the alternator to the battery and the rest of the vehicle's electrical system. As a result, the alternator cannot charge the battery or provide power to the vehicle's electrical components.
If you suspect a problem with your alternator but the alternator itself tests fine, it's a good idea to check the alternator fuse and the associated wiring. Replacing a blown fuse can often resolve charging issues and restore the proper functioning of the alternator and charging system.

ROVER600 SLI RHD - I installed new alternator, Do I need to excite it?

again, no year told or VIN or engine there of 5, nor country told
hint #1 the books and parts are all buy what I just said above 600SLI
no you have blown fuses.
i already answered your alt questions on one of your other posts
try to stick to 1post and add comments. to just one. post.
replacing the alt ,
and not doing step 1 blows fuses out.

step 1, remove neg lug of battery
step2 replace ALT.
step last ,put bad lug last.
and win. sorry fuses are blown. or the ELD is bad. or PCM bad.

Rover 620Sli RHD - Blown charge indicator and new alternator no charging output

a reskin of the European Honda Accord,!
the fuses must be all good.
there can be 2 to4 fuses just or making alternator work and the lamp.
you posted 3 times, 1 problem, why? do that. and your car, nor the RHD countries name,nor told what engine is there..
step #1 new alternator
1:remove neg, lug on the battery, if not you will blow up fuses. not fun that. BOOM huge fuse blown, next time ask how first.

13 to15 vdc is battery voltage engine running,
stick to one post ,one car ,, one problem and comments to it,thanks.

I have a 94 f-350 with the 6.9l DIESEL and the battery's won't charge

How old is the battery? In general, vehicle batteries are considered 'old' after 5 years especially on bigger engines.
Using a volt meter or a multimeter set to Volts try this. With the engine off and the Keys out test the voltage directly on the battery. You should get a reading somewhere around 12.6 to 13.2 volts. Start the engine and retest the battery voltage. If the alternator is working correctly the reading should rise to somewhere around 13.6 to 14.2 volts.

Put a crank position sensor on ,car finally started with a jump start took the cables off and died now all it does is click

NO CAR TOLD YEAR,MAKE OR MODEL NOR VIN#
BATTERY IS DEAD. WHY AND HOW WHO KNOWS?
WE CHARGE THEM USING A TOOL CALLED CHARGER

AND IF THAT FAILS TO MAKE OLD BATTERY CRANK ENGINE
THE BATTERY IS REPLACED. NOW.

EML IS CALLED CEL.SES AND MIL LAMP
IN ENGLISH IT IS CHECK ENGINE LAMP.
IT JUST STARTS SO THERE IS THE 1 KEY TEST DONE.
WHEN IT STARTS AGAIN
WE WHIP OUT THE OLD DMM,VOLT METER.
AND CHECK BATTERY LUGS FOR 13 TO 15VDC AT IDLE
BELOW 13VDC THE ALTERNATOR IS DEAD OR ITS FUSES BLOWN.

THERE ARE 6 CAUSES OF NO CRANKS.
FUSE] BLOWN
BATTERY DEAD (IT IS)
KEYSWITCH BAD (ST PIN)
PRNDL SWITCH BAD (AKA. PARK NEUTRAL SWITCH)
CRANK IN NEUTRAL NOW, DOES ENGINE START?
STARTER RELAY BAD
STARTER BAD.
OR ANY WIRE ABOVE CONNECTED.

OR BAD BATTERY CABLES OR LUGS LOOSE OR RUSTY.
THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD IF ALTERNATOR FAILS
OR ITS BELT IS LOST OR SLIPS OR ALTERNATOR FUSES BLOWN
MOST CARS IF ALT FAILS AND WE DRIVE 30 MINUTES AND ENGINE DIES, FOR DEAD BATTERY./ NIGHT TIME LESS.
AT IDLE THE DAYS CHARGE/BATTERY LAMP MUST NOT GLOW.
IP CLUSTER LAMP

Headlights not working

It sound like the globes have blown. This can be caused by the alternator over charging (faulty regulator inside the alternator) or a loose battery connection which can cause a voltage spike.

No charge voltage to battery. New alternator. No turn signals. This vehicle lost charging when towing trailer.

Troubleshoot by isolating the alternator, then testing for a 13.5 - 16v output (likely to be ~14.5v). Anything out of that range indicates bad alternator or voltage regulator (assumed to be built into the alternator). If voltage is in range, (and following your suspicion of an electrical problem in the Turn Signal circuit), reconnect the alternator and isolate the turn signal circuit by pull the fuses. See if you are getting the good voltage reading of (~14.5v) at the battery. IF IT'S GOOD..check for bad trailing wiring harness (isolate if possible), I've seen bad turn signal bulbs (contacts on bottom of bulb) short out (melt) in their sockets (typically causing a blown fuse..but ya'never know), and lastly you might have to do a hand over hand following the wiring, looking for shorts, melted wire, cuts, broken connections, etc (see Hanes Manual Wiring diagrams for possible points to perform continuity checks). IF IT'S BAD. you must continue to isolate electrical circuits until you find the one that is causing the fault. You can pull one fuse at a time (not reinstalling them) until voltage at the battery returns, or you might try pulling a group of fuses at a time until you can read good voltage at the battery, then replace the fuses one at a time until you find the bad circuit. Once you've isolated the bad circuit, it's either a matter of further isolation until you find the bad component (many circuits supply voltage to multiple components), or checking every connection and component connected in the circuit. Best of luck resolving this problem.

After replacing alternator, battery, headlights still do not work

if the battery was leaking acid from the filler caps on the battery it may have been caused by the alternator over charging (faulty voltage regulator) hence blow your light bulbs or blown the fuse check for blown fuses first,if they are OK you may have to replace the bulbs .....hope this helps....cheers
