I know you said, you've replaced the battery with a new one, but out of curiousity, I'd use a multimeter just to see what it puts out for Voltage across the battery terminal. Should be 14+v

Check your grounds if you haven't already..
It could be a faulty diode in your alternator

There's probably a short to power somewhere then? I don't get it. I need to see the wiring diagram in order to know what I'm trying to deal with.
