I have a draw in my s13 started pulling fuses and found out it was my alternator fuse. Where do I go from here? Thanks for the help!

What do you mean?

Something has been killing my battery. Started pulling fuses and it says on the fuse ALT I'm assuming it's for my alternator.

That's the 75a fuse, just change if it's blown

Didn't look blown. Had my test light hooked up to the battery and when I pulled that fuse the test light turned off.

If you found out your alternator is the source of a draw, then you need to refurb or replace it.

Make sure it comes from there though. someone may have added some wirings on the alternator wiring. The only thing you have established is your drain is on the wiring protected by the alternator fuse. It could be anything there, although the most probable culprit would be a dead alternator / regulator.

I've had it tested and the first time they said the diodes failed then the second time they said it was fine

A Shorted diode will drain the battery
