^somehow you could have something shorting your electrical thus grounding all your power. metal to metal contact can do this. or even aluminum. you're positive terminal on you're battery is the rubber cover on there covering the entire terminal preventing it from touching the hood?

Sounds like a bad ground. btw, I saw your car stalled up on Red Hill this evening. There was a truck parked in front of it with a couple guys looking at it.

sounds like the alternator is still blown. or more like the voltage regulator. you can bench test the alternator and it will pass since it produces power but just too much of it...
