Hello and welcome to JustAnswer, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I have over 22 years of experience in this field. I'm so sorry for your inconvenience and hopefully, I can help. You need to check if the alternator is getting power. If the alternator is not getting power while the vehicle is running then the fuse or wiring is at fault, if it is getting power then the alternator is defective and will need replacing again.
