That's how old mechanics used to check cars with generators. Not with alternators. Get yourself a voltmeter. You can find them pretty reasonable for charging issues. As far as the fuse. Most fuse covers have labels for what they go to. Either inside the car or under the hood. Did you disconnect the battery when you installed the new stereo?
