Have your charging system tested, it sounds like your alternator is failing, or conversely you got a defective new battery, or one not fully charged

Well got the system and batt checked out again and all is good according to the diagnosis machine. Guess I'll just have to wait and see how things go...

Posting the voltage readings from your system check out would have been a good thing .

Yes and now on with the investigation, check for loose grounds under the hood, in the spare tire well by the battery!!
I strongly recommend to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery!
The check and clean all the grounds, tighten the positive post on the fuse box under the hood, the one with the red plastic cap!
The reconnect the positive cable to the battery and lastly the negative cable to the battery

Didn't even think about posting them. I'll have to find that sheet again.

I did check grounds when I did my oil and they were secure. Did not remove them though. I did also check the fusebox and there was a few fuses and relays that were loose. I also had cleaned the terminals and posts when I installed the new battery.

What fix are you talking about for the fuse box?
