Along with the fusible links by the starter, Locate the battery control center. Many have a charge relay. On my rig the charge relay must energize before the batteries get charged. Mine has a control fuse in the control center.
The Battery control center will NOT stop the Alternator from charging the chassis battery. All the BCC does is monitor and combine the batteries. BUT as I stated, the Charge current from the Alternator goes direct to the chassis battery. To the OP, if you have a Chevy, the Steering wheel emblem will have a Chevy emblem and also the Igntion key will be a GM type square key. AS others have mentioned, check the fusable links at the Starter and on Chevy Class A chassis there is a Solenoid/relay(Chevy installed) on a bracket just above the Alternator and there is a fusable link there also. A fusable link is a short(less than 4 inches) of soft feeling wire that will melt apart in a short. Takes the place of a standard fuse. Rarely does a blown fuse cause lack of Alternator charging on a Class A Chevy chassis. Doug
