There is no fuse for an alternator.
No, bad front wheel bearings would not prevent a transmission from shifting. If your car has bad front wheel bearings you will notice wheel noise or wheel looseness.
Possible alternator problem
a broken dip stick wont cause hard shifting... the engine does not do the any shifting... your problem would be the transmission... check transmission....
Are you having trouble shifting out of park? Would it be a bad solenoid/tranny?
Could be. But it might be an alternator problem instead of a batery problem. You need a good alternator to keep the bttery recharged. I wouldn't run out and buy a battery without getting the alternator checked.
It will not cause the engine to overheat. You have another problem.
Alternator needs replacing.
No, the only way would be if the belt wasn't driving the alternator causing low voltages to the electronic transmission.
I had the same problem and then my alternator went out. Replaced alternator and haven't had the problem since. Check your belts.
Yes, it's possible to prevent a bicycle from shifting. Easiest would be just not to move the shifter.
You may have a weak alternator, or you may be shifting to early. Entering a higher gear will drop the rpm down to much, and the alternator will not be turning fast enough to put out the proper voltage, and the light will come on. This would not be noticeable with the 4 to 5 shift because of the smaller rpm change, and down shifting would have an opposite effect(engine RPM increases). Let the rpm build up a little more before shifting.
