How about cables? High resistance cables? Are all your grounds clean and tight with low resistance wires?

Your battery and alternator are good,I have feeling you have a short in the car, there are a few good you tube videos on the subject

I just read another blog about this same generation and model. 2 possibilities: the brown wire on the alternator is prone to going bad. The blog said it was a small plugin. Also another one said that a 20 amp fuse was not making good contact in the fuse box keeping his battery from charging. I sent a message to see what the name of the circuit is but waiting. I would check all of them for good contacts.

Nice. Im at work right now. I will take a look at the fuse and wire when I get home. Also, I have a multi tester but don't know what to test.
