I changed the alternator,found the same thing still happening,put the old alternator back in,(old one was still good)and tried to check wire's. now the batt is totally dead and i dont know what to do.

Once you get it running you need to see what the charging system voltage is using a volt meter on the battery terminals. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
