Get the battery load tested. A bad battery will quickly destroy a new alternator. Also check for a bad ground from the battery minus pole to the chassis and then to the transmission, then to the engine, then to the alternator body. Use a DVOM and measure resistance in the preceding steps to determine if any segment has greater than 0.001 ohms of resistance. Some techs like to use voltage drop as a test, I am partial to resistance readings. In the end they accomplish the same thing.

99 lumina volts and anti lock warning lights on changed battery and alternator.. twice.. what else could it be?
There is probably a problem with the ABS system
Battery light is on changed the alternator and battery is good what else could it be?
Check for blown fuse(s) or blown fusible link(s).
If the battery light keeps coming on and the alternator has been replaced what else could be the problem on 97 Mitsubishi eclipse?
it could mean that you have a loose battery cable that needs to be tightened
If i changed the 40 amp fuse when i plug in my 2000 cummins it still is not working What else could the problem be?
What is the 40 fuse for & what is not working.
2003 Chrysler Town and Country that you just changed the alternator on but the battery still keeps dying on you you had the battery checked and it was fine What else could it be?
Have the cut-out tested and replaced as soon as possible. It's very likely that the problem is located there. It's not expensive to replace it, you can easily do it yourself I think.
What can cause the alternator cable drawing current from the battery on a 2003 beetle. the alternator has already been changed.?
Disconnect the cable from the alternator and see if that stops the draw. If it does, the alternator may be defective. Otherwise there may be something else drawing current.
Why is the battery light flashing on BMW 325?
There is a problem with your charging system. May be a defective alternator or something else.
New alternator fitted but light stays on?
New Alternator BUT Warning Light Still Stays OnMaybe there was nothing wrong with the alternator you replaced, and the problem is somewhere else in the charging system!Although possible, it is highly unlikely that a new alternator would be defective.
95 neon sport and the same check engine light code keeps coming on p0505 and you have changed the idle control motor what else could be the problem?
could also be the circuitry, buddy.
My 2001 Mazda protege keeps chewing up alternator belts or popping them It's been through 5 in 2 mos The alternator has been replaced and the belt still squeaks loudly?
If the belt squeaks, either the belt is loose or something else is sticking. Your problem is not the belt but something else. The squeak could be a water pump about to break. Since your typing did not describe just the way it is squeaking, I can not tell exactly what is causing the problem.
You think your car has an electrical problem your battery charges when it likes it has a new alternator battery and battery cables what else could be wrong?

If a 1995 jeep grand Cherokee is not getting spark and the coil was changed already what else could be the problem?
Easiest check would be the cap and rotor then move on to a bad crank sensor
