98 Ford Explorer
4.0 SOHC 80,000 miles. Would not start, had the battery checked, replaced battery with a new one. It started right up, but the battery light was on in the instrument cluster and the volt gauge was showing low. I took the negative battery cable off and it died. I thought it was the alternator, so I took it off and went and had it checked. It was putting out 13.5-14 volts. All of the fuses under the hood and in the cab are good. The 30 amp radio fuse was blown so I replaced that.
What am I missing here? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Double check the "generator/voltage regulator" fuse.
On a 97 it's mini fuse 6 in the power distribution box.
But look at the fuse list in your owners manual to see if your 98 is the same.
If this fuse is blown it wont charge.
