Sounds like a loose connection. Double check all your battery terminals. Also check the negative battery cable where it bolts to the frame and motor.

These stupid cars suck. I did same exact thing you did, replaced alt, battery, checked every fuse, radio worked then it didn't then it worked again. They are possessed. I'm broken down now at shopping center. Won't turn over. Stupid wiring problems I guess.

Mine has done the exact same thing! 3 alternators and 3 batteries in 3 years! Good news is only had to pay for the first battery and alternator, the rest have been under warranty! I think it has to be a ground wire...something causing a draw.
