Check your alternator output, voltage, and wave form, it may have failed. I would also check all the connections on the alternator, you may have forgotten to tighten somthing.

It sounds like you grounded something and it is putting a draw on the car. Check the wiring that you did and make sure that you did not short something

If the altanator is bad you might be able to take it and have it rebuilt
