The 120 amp fuse is in the underhood fuse block. Your owners manual should have this info.
You can check continuity on the fuse, to see if it is good? Also, the fuse plugs into voltage, if no voltage, the circuit is still dead, even if the fuse is good.

At the alternator bat terminal, engine running, 13--15 volts reading, if alternator is charging. Use digital multimeter.

If problem with wiring connector, you might be able to purchase new connector with pig tail wiring.
