Electrical problem
1999 Ford F150 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 78000 miles

While driving I started lossing power to, 1st my radio, then the gages on dash. I turned off my lights and everything powered up...soon after started losing everything again. I took out Alternator and brought to Auto Zone for check...it failed. Replaced Alternator, #11 fuse (which was blown) and drove back to autozone for Battery, Alet, and Starter check and everything comes back fine but I am still losing electrical power after battery powers out. If running and I take pos cable off battery...it shuts down. Anything I could be missing?

Do you have an alt gauge? If so, does it show the alt is charging? I believe there is a fuseable link that runs from the alt to the battery. If it's bad, it won't charge.

Check fuse no. 30 30amp and fuse no. 111 50amp if okay see below
