OK so everytime i started my car it would die in about 5 min, so my first assumption was that it was the alternator, but we got that tested and it was just fine. So then i was completely stumped b/c when we put the alternator back in my car I stated my car back up and the engine would run for maybe 5 min, but nothing worked. No power windows/locks, no radio, no clock, no gauges... only my headlights worked but they wouldn't even pop up. So then we found out that my alternator fuse was blown. Luckily my brother has a parts 240sx, so i took the fuse from that car and plugged it in, and no more than 3 seconds later that fuse blows... so idk what is going on now...
