you have a dead short somewhere in electrical system. have the alternator checked even tho it is new.these have been known to b bad from the getgo. also have the starter motor taken out and checked by a good automotive electrician.these can have a short but still work check the voltage regulator.these are either built into alternator or are connected remotely the alternator and battery complete the electrical circuit, so if one is bad it will stop the vehicle when battery charge is gone Rocky_B - See my entry here for more things you might want to check: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_could_be_wrong_if_the_battery_light_stays_on_and_the_battery_still_runs_down_on_a_1996_windstar_after_installing_a_new_battery_and_alternator

If the alternator and the battery are both new why isn't the alternator charging the battery. The fuses were checked and the connections to the battery are good. What is the problem?

Why won't by battery light go out in my eb Ford Falcon?
That normally happens if your alternator is not charging, or if your Battery cell is faulty. This will result to your car not starting. One always leads to the other. Do one of 3 things, check if your alternator brushes are still in good shape. Check thetension of your v-belt and that the alternator is tightly installed. Have your battery checked out at your nearest battery centre.

Why does a 1991 Mercury Cougar only make a clicking noise when trying to start if the battery was checked and is ok?
Bad starter.AnswerYes, I concur. If you need to drive it, try rapping on it with a hammer, the vibrations may help free it. Did this with my probe once, and it turned over after a minute or so of pounding. But get a new starter quickly. Sounds like your battery is dead if u replaced the battery with a new one and it happens then u have a bad alternator.
