On my wifes 3.0L DOHC, there is a 30 amp fuse in the engine compartments fuse box that is specifically for the charging circuit. You should probably check the owners manual to see if the same fuse is there as well. I would definitely pull and check that fuse first and then the mega fuse (if your car has it) as well.
