Where did you get the alternator?
Why 3 times?
Did you check both fuses in both fuse boxes?
How about the battery cables, connections and such? Are the wires connected properly (Alt to starter)?
Did you keep the alternator output stud from rotating when you hooked up the wires?

Good luck and lety us know. :)

I will check it out for sure I did check the wires and the seem to be fine but you never know. Where would those fuses be located exactly? Think it would be a good I idea to replace the two battery cables just in case. The nut behind the alt I think its good but I will check again. What else could it be if its none of these things. Thanks again. Got the altenator at autozone they tested it said it was good after I put it on the first time. The battery to I cant figure what could be causing this.
