Hello!
Removing the alternator fuse on this vehicle can require a few extra steps than when removing a typical fuse.
Please disconnect both battery cables first.
It sounds like you've already located the fusible link block, on the left side of the engine compartment, which holds the alternator fuse. If you look around the perimeter of the fusible link block you may see several tabs or clips that hold the block in place. Using a flat-head screwdriver, you should be able to carefully release these tabs.
Next, the fusible link block should be able to be pulled up towards you a little bit. At this point, you may be able to see two bolts holding the prongs or blades of the alternator fuse. They may be 8mm or 10mm bolts. One bolt should be facing the front of the vehicle, and the other bolt should be facing towards the firewall. After these bolts are released, the fuse should pull straight out.
After the new fuse is installed, reinstall the bolts and press the block back down until the tabs clip back into place.
Please note there is still another fusible link between the alternator fuse and the battery. Check out the diagrams (below). This fusible link may also need to be checked if you still have no power at the alternator fuse.
Once you have power to the alternator fuse, you might want to check the rest of the fuses again as well. Below is a repair guide that you may find helpful:
