Answer
Hi Robert,

I suspect a problem with the charging system or other electrical problem(s).

I would need to perform a few quick electrical tests to accurately diagnose the problem(s).

Have a local shop inspect the problem for you or obtain a copy of the Service Manual and following troubleshooting procedures.

Respectfully,
