My windshield wipers work, but they are very slow. whats goin on? it has a new alternator, why isnt the windows and gauges working now?

Well a similar incident happened to my car but that was when i reversed the terminals on the battery and blow my main fuse, perhaps you've blown the main fuse have to taken a look at it?

check all them little things people call fuses,

check all your grounds

check battery voltage,

take your car to autozone to check the charging system

I’m having the same problem:change the alternator, turn car on , to check , I turn the head lights on ,turn radio on and put the time on the clock, then every power inside turn off; the wipers and taillights no working nor the power look .Only thing with power is the headlights ,door lights and hazards lights. ALL fuse check good,check alternator and battery wire all normal.At least turns on but it donot have brake or signal lights

I'd suggest you check the 100amp fuse. It is on the main fusebox on driver side bay. You'd have to unscrew the box because the 100amp fuse is screwed in.

Back then, I accidentally shorted the system while changing the alternator. The car will start but not lights, no electricals.

yes it was that fuse.the remanufactured alternator cover on the side was making contact with the power in screw, grounding it. Error of remanufactured or maybe it got bent in on delivery travel. So that was fix ,everything is working and charge is normal , but the battery warning light stays on.

You probably shorted the alternator too. The charging system is not working. Try a different alternator.
