Check all grounds and take the battery to parts store and have it tested. And because it happened to me go get the alt checked to. I had a brand new alt on for less than a week and it was bad.

Dont forget the option to get the alt. rebuilt. It cost me $45 to get new brushes and voltage regulator put in and its like brand new now.

I've had two rebuilt alternators fail within 10km. I would get both your battery and alternator checked. It's a bit of a pain but it's free.
