I have a 2002 mustang gt I recently replaced my battery the car starts good and everything but when I begin to drive off the gauges go crazy and gauge lights begin to flicker and my radio cuts off. What can this be? Please help anyone thanks!

You either did not tighten the cable on the post good and the cables are wiggling loose when you drive or you have a sort in the system

Get the alternator checked

I recently replaced my alternator not even a year ago, I bought new battery terminals and tighten them up good I checked my radio cables and everything looks good any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated thank you

Sounds like a poor connection to me.

You dont have any ideas where the poor connection could be coming from? I checked the ground cable thats connected to the transmission and its not that,

Grounds are the most likely. Check the main one that comes off from the battery, there is one that attaches to the driver motor mount, and one on the passenger lower side. Otherwise I am calling the alternator. Where did you get the replacement from? The remanufactured ones are known for dieing quickly.

Check the main wire that bolts onto the side of the fuse box under the hood as well.
