Hello,

What's the mileage on the car?
What alternator did you get as a replacement?
Did the old alternator just stop producing power at some point, or was it causing Overvoltage in the system?

It looks like you blew one of the Fuses for one reason or the other, here is a Fuse Diagram for your car, check ALL the fuses using the Test Light, paying especially close attention to the 30A POWER Fuse, as it links all the systems you mentioned.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Hello I just hit 290,000km
tge only alternator I could get was a acdelco and I had it on my other car for a week before I pulled the motor and it worked perfectly fine
I checked the fuses and they all appeared good I’m going to go re check all of them pretty soon and update you thank you for the help

UPDATE: I found the issue was a bad main power relay and a broken wire in wheel well
