A couple of things to try. Frist by the starter or fuse panel there are inline fuse looking things called shunts. When they weaken or burn out this will happen. Next a good way to trouble shoot for a short is to do the following. Take a test light attach it to the Plus + side of your battery. Take the wire lead of the test light and ground it. Then one at a time pull your curcuit breakers if the light go`s out that curcuit is good. if it stays on you have found the curcuit that has the short. hope this helps.

Can't find an electrical problem sitting at a computer. These types of problems need hands on to fix. Your problem could be as simple as a blown alternator fuse or it could be complicated.
A bit of diagnostics 101, NEVER repeat NEVER, replace any part until the problem is known, now , did a "mechanic" change the battery, alternator and many other things, what ever that means.?? If so did any one check the alternator to see if it delivering 15 volts to the battery.??? does your ampmeter show charge or discharge when engine running ?? I am beginning to believe, from what I read on this forum, that tuere are no competent or honest "mechanics" out there.
Always ask your "mechanic" "I'll make you a deal, if your diagnosis is wrong I will only pay for parts, and I will pay no more than 20 % above invoice.

You should have taken your car back if it started acting up the day you got it back.
