While driving, suddenly the windshield wipers go on, car seems to go haywire, then dies and battery immediately dies. Had alternator, battery and relay switch replaced. Didn't work, less than 12 hrs after, dead again.

• Car loses electrics
  I have replaced the alternator. The vehicle worked fine for awhile after short drive. The tach,heater, radio quit working and battery light came on. Could it be just the battery?
