What would drain your battery after replacing alternator and battery?
Is it possible that you hooked up some of the wires on the alternator reversed. An alternator has to be "exited" meaning that you need to put a little power in to it to get alot of power back out of it. If one of the wires you hooked to it was a "constant hot" (on all the time) and not a "keyed hot" (on with the key) the alternator itself can drain the battery. If you are sure this could not be it you're going to need to put a multimeter on the battery and pull and replace one fuse at a time until you find the drain. (It will stop drawing when you pull the right fuse) Be careful because the clock/radio is a constant drain but a very small. Save that fuse for the very last.

2002 Taurus 91K battery died - replaced battery but it keeps going dead. Alternator is fine. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you have something that is on all the time and drawing power from the battery. Check, dome, courtesy, trunk, hood, glove box, and brake lights.
The charge and brake light stay on all the time How can you fix this?
It is most likely a bad diode in the alternator that is causing both lights to stay on. Or its just your alternator going out, replace alternator, and check pads an rotors.
