My 98 eclipse has had eletrical problems and they are off and on. It shows when put alot of stress on the motor I know if I take my terminals off while the car is running it shuts off. Ill be driving and my battery light will come on ocassionally not often but it's still a problem. I changed the alternator, battery, belt, and drove it and a few weeks later it started having the same problems whats going on?

Check the battery cable coming out of the alternator to the battery. Also, pull the alternator out of the car, and have it bench-tested. I have seen a few Eclipse alternators that were bad out of the box. Make sure the belt is tight when you reinstall the alternator back.
