It's likely the alternator is bad. You need to test it yourself. With all accessories loaded up it should be putting out about 14 volts. If not, it's bad.

Parts stores can't properly test Honda alternators. Period.

Could it be a fuse? If so which one?

If it's a fuse it's going to be the big 80a/90a fuse in the engine bay fuse compartment. It's a big fuse.

YA PARTS STORES CANT TEST STARTERS OR ALTERNATORS, WHEN STARTERS GET HOT THEY STOP WORKING , ALTERNATORS PROBABLY TOO, MAYBE THE INTERNAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR IN ALTERNATOR, TEST THE AMP OUTPUT, ALSO MEASURE VOLTAGE DROP POWER AND GROUND

test light is not going to help you. Those are only good for checking fuses, since you need to know exactly how much voltage is present. If you cant get a voltmeter take the car somewhere else. You are just going to keep throwing money at it hoping it will fix it.
