Electrical problem
1991 Ford Tempo 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

The car was running fine until the alternator light came on and the car died. We replaced the alternator, battery and cellinoid. the car runs until the charge in the battery is gone then it dies. What do we do next to get the car running again?
