Replaced altinator, battery and starter and now there is a grinding noise when starting my 2003 ford windstar. Also the headlights and dash lights flicker or dim while drivin. What could cause this?

there is a dimmer switch to dim the dash lights. when you turn it all the way over it turns the interior lights on it is the same switch as your headlights.
something on in your car is sucking the juice,a door not closed completely or inside lights left on or headlights or parking lights dome lights,ignition not completely shut off,hood light trunk light etc check them all,if car turns over when charged but wont start it could be your fuel pump or broken timing belt
Used parts such as starters and altinators don't last. It might **** but it sounds like you need to buy a new starter,altinator, and battery. Or just start with buying one at a time.
i might be a bad altinator but i would double check your battery. a bad battery will kill a new altinator. does the battery light stay on? if the battery light on the dash is not on you may have another problem...
thier is problem with brake switch on master cylendre leaks brake fluid on top a abs madule and short the wires need to change switch, plug ,and abs madule
at the minimum, since you mentioned all the idiot lights coming on, your alternator is fried. have someone put in a new alternator. if it's still acting up, have someone go over the computer.
The clicking noise is most likly the starter solinoid cycling in and out. This is due to low battery voltage. charge the battery, then have the battery and charging system tested. Some auto supply stores will do this for free for you in the hopes of selling parts
