Can i take off the alternator and bring it to autozone to have it tested just like the battery? Since the car wont start, thats the only way.

Yes, but testing the alternator in the car is best as it also tests the alternator circuit.
But understand that when fuse 15 is blown, as yours was, the alternator cannot working. That's where you should focus with regard to the charging system.
Did you test, charge, or replace the battery?

I still havent had chance to have it tested since I have to work the whole weekend. I'll let you know when I'm able to get it to autozone this Monday.

Ok, so I had my battery tested by autozone and it ended up bad battery. I replaced the battery. Now the hazard light works but when I turn it on, the temp gauge's needle keep jumping. And the battery light is the only thing that works on the cluster. There's no light on cluster, signal does not work, and none of the gauge works. At least I can start the car now. Should I check the wiring or are there other blown fuses?

I checked and replaced meter fuse and signal light fuse. The rest are good. However, the tach, fuel gauge, and temp gauge are not stable, they keep jumping sometimes. The signal lights work but the signal indicators on the cluster both light up when I turn on either left/right signal. The hazard light used to work perfectly before so it must be the wiring that is bad.
