Default charging problem

ok so I desperately need help. I replaced the alternator and battery but still am not charging. I even ran a line from the alt right to the battery and still nothing. I know there is supposed to be some fuse in line but I need help and pictures please.

I am not sure if you are familiar with the Tech Article (DIY) section or the index that is posted in that section that details the threads that can be found there, but here are two links from that index/section that should be of some help to you:
Charging System Test (book methods) by swartlkk
Convert Alternator from PWM to Battery Reference by 2001Blue

The second link is what I recommend you go through as it will be the end of your charging issues. The stock PWM setup leaves a lot to be desired as these vehicles age. Its best to just let the regulator do its thing to keep system voltage constant rather than getting the PCM involved.
