In the last couple weeks I have replaced the battery, then the alternator, and it still wont hold a charge. I put the charger on it and it starts right up after driving it for a bit the digital dash will go black the car will stay running but I have no dash lights, no power locks, no power windows ect. I've checked all the fuses and wirering and have found nothing. Need help please.

Check fuse #2 (30 amp) in the battery junction box behind the battery. If it is good, there are two fusible links from the junction box. They should be grey in color. A fusible link looks like a regular wire but is designed like a fuse. Check both for continuty. If the fuse is good, one of these fusible links is most likely blown.
