i would check for loose connections first, make sure you have it grounded properly. is your battery underpowered? what else is directly connected to your battery besides what is factory?
are you reading 12v on the alt when the key is ON (not running)?

i know i sound like troubleshooting for dummies but info provided would only point to this... and sometimes its something insanely simple.
