I have been having problems with my ford tempo and i can't figure out what is wrong with it

I dorve it 400miles from wy to co and it went fine after i got here it ran about a week before having problems. the battery wouldn't stay charged i had the alternator tested twice and both times was told that it was working fine so i replaced the battery it also started to loose antifreeze and over heat. I took out the radiator and had it fixed it ran for about a day then it died the positive battery cable was old and rusted so i replaced that. Now it work even make the clicking sound that the battery is dead, or try and turn over. The last time i tried to the start the car the dome and panel lights came on when i turned the key then i pushed in the clutch and every thing went out and has came back on since.

Sounds like you have a dead short some where on the frame ground, clean the other post cable also , and when you get it started with another batt, wiggly wires and see if it dies
