I bought a refurbished alternator and battery for my mazda millenia 98. The battery light is still on. But the car can start so this means that the fuse is not blown. Do you think it is the alternator?

You need to test the charging system with a digital voltmeter across the battery to determine if the alternator is charging or not.
