If the alternator is not charging the house batteries there is some kind of isolation device. often a solenoid not unlike the one in the photo or like a Ford Starter Solenoid.
If it is not charging the CHASSIS batteries Well then the solenoid is NOT the problem.

Alternator--Fuseable link---Battery
Now there may be any number of connnections between the Fuse link and the Battery and there may be more than one Fuse LInk.
What is a Fusible link? Basically it's a long fusem a piece of wire designed to melt in the event of an overload like a regular fuse but a piece of wire Designed to melt without setting the thing on fire. Easily replaced.
