Check fuses? Battery chargeable? (Bad battery). Wire corrosion from alternator to battery? Good grounds on positive and negative side of electrical system? Fusible links good?

Use new alternator? Not remanufactured unit? Many times a reman unit is bad out of the box. Have it tested before leaving store. Also use Denso alternators. They are the best.
