I've replaced (2) alternators and (2) batteries within a two month period. Each time the car ran fine for about 2 weeks when the battery light comes back on and the battery dies. Put in new battery and now battery light stays on.

Hi jarlaxle,

Check for blown fuses at under hood and dash fuse box.

Test the charging voltage at alternator main mast and battery terminal wit a voltmeter with engine running. Should be 13.5 to 1`4.5 volts at both points.
