Hi, I'm new here so thanks in advance for any help.

My battery died and wouldn't charge, a friend checked the battery and alternator with multimeter and there was no charge coming from alternator. I have replaced the alternator with a brand new non oem one and still battery light stays on and battery is not charging.
I have confirmed the battery is good, and if battery is charged the car has no problems at all until battery dies.

Is there a fuse I can check or some other basic checks I can do before I waste my money on a trip to a mechanic.

My car is a 2005 accord euro 6spd, and I'm in New Zealand, thanks in advance...
