Make sure your charge lead is properly secured and that the connector from the wiring harness is also fully secured. Check any grounds that may be loose or that have been changed. Remember that for the best ground possible, the connection should be bare metal to bare metal. If you have an aftermarket stereo, be sure that the remote connection to your amplifier is connected to the proper wire in your receiver's wiring harness. You could also have your battery tested to see if that's the problem. I had the same issue with my new alternator and it ended up being a ground.
