Replaced both battery and alternator and battery light still on. What could be wrong? Is it a fuse, pulley?

Good morning,
I attached a wiring diagram for you to view. Check the 2 fuses that I circled for power on both sides.

If they are good, we need to test for voltage to the alternator. You will need a voltmeter for the test. The ECM controls the alternator but before we go there, we need to do these checks.
