Start by checking the fuse panel for a blown fuse.

I suspect either a bad voltage regulator (should show up on the alternator test) or something is draining the battery when off. Draining a battery below 12V can cause un-repairable damage to a battery although if only a few weeks old you might try to recondition it with a reconditioning charger.

Go to a site called "Eric the Car Guy" if you have a 4.6L V-8 engine. I own 2 engines like this and was surprised about photos and evidence presented. Also try AboutAutomobiles.com and enter your Year and Model for TSB's and owner concerns. For the 4.6L, at about 135,000 Miles, the intake crumbles and leaks in the front around the thermostat.

When you say replace,I assume you mean brake pads
Calipers last for years
You have to turn the piston in first,that is later ratcheted up, for parking brake initial setting
Then you need to push the piston into the caliper,works best if you open the bleeder valve
You will be bleeding all four calipers every two years anyway.
You may be able to get a tool for turning the rear piston or modify one as I had to since none were avail for a Lincoln LS
Have the rear rotors turned,don't put new pads on a worn rotor
