Default need help with my lexus gs300. won't start!

So I was on my way to work when all of a sudden my car's dash lights start blinking also my radio stops working and then my car just gives out when I come to a stop. I was able to get a jump but turned off again then it gave out completely. I figured it was the alternator because I had just gotten a fresh battery. I checked the battery terminals they are good. I replaced my alternator and had my battery recharged a couple days later. The car turned on but no electricity. A few minutes later my car gave out again and couldn't turn on again, and that's were i am. Can anyone help plz?

check and make sure the alternator fuse didn't pop. When your alternator kicked the bucket it might have shorted the fuse as well.

Make sure the battery cables are clean and free of battery acid, brush them with a steel brush. Make sure the battery is still good. I hope this helps. Then move on to the alternator.
