Just bought a 2002 Olds Silhouette, drove fine the first day, next day won't start, dealership said it had a bad wire somewhere leading to the fuel pump, then said they couldn't find the bad wire so they put in a brand new fuel pump. It drove fine the first day. The next day it wouldn't start. The dealer replace some wires under the front passenger side, said the wires were bad and shorting out the fuel pump. Ran fine the first day, now won't start. This is happening at various times of the day after driving earlier in the day and car seems fine. Tthe weather is sunny and warm (in the 70's)

2001 ford taurus power draining new battery & new alternater won't work when cables are removed from battery

That suggests that the problem is in the harness, something in the connector or wiring is causing an open circuit. You will need to have the circuit tested to find the fault. Ford alternators have known connector issues & new aftermarket connectors are readily available at most auto parts stores.

Engine won't turn over

This is most likely the battery, sometimes you can have enough power for dome lights and radio, but not enough "Cranking Amps" to start the vehicle. Charge it, or take it to an Auto zone or something. They will charge it and test it for free.

My Oldsmobile silhouette 2001 wont start after I replaced the battery and alternator

You can't fix it yourself. It takes a scanner at your Local Dealership to do it. People do it, (new battery) everyday unaware that doing so can and usually does, arm the theft system and either kills the radio or the whole car. To me it's just another built-in defect that requires dealer assistance. It's a buzzkill I know, and it probably won't be long until car owners won't even have access to the engine compartment.
