OK, Its a new battery so the terminals are clean. I am just going to replace the battery cables and see if that does the trick. Thanks.

Can I ask what brand of alternator you are installing? I think the charging and window problems are going to be separate. Here is an alternator and window wiring diagram along with a guide to help you see whats going on:

You can see the systems do not touch.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
