My car died while in town. So I have the battery tested, and fully charged, still won't crank. I replace the Alternator, and it cranks right up, runs 10-15 min, I drive it 2 miles. It shuts back off, and won't start again. Rapid clicks when I try to start it. I jumped it off, and it started, but 5min later it dies. Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Check to make sure battery terminals are clean and tight, check the ground to the engine block from the battery, check the connections at the starter, and check starter relay.
