It sounds like you might have a short somewhere. I would start at the battery and the alternator and inspect all of the wiring (particularly the larger wires) to make sure you don’t have any exposed metal that could be contacting the engine block or chassis. Sometimes engine vibration can wear through wiring insulation, causing a ton of seemingly unrelated electrical issues.

I have replaced the alternator 3times this week. Each one puts out bout 17 volts within a minute or two. Airbag light comes on periodically dings a few times goes out.. radio coming on and off. This all started after the alternator first died, and it was definitely dead.. new battery and 140v alternator fuse.. any suggestions??
