electrical problem



If you haven't already done so, I would replace the battery cables if
they look even a little bit corroded.  Also the alternator wire.  While
doing that, make sure those 2 red wires that go to the relay panel from
the battery are in good condition.  If not, cut them back to good wire,
get a beefy wire that will connect to the battery and solder it up!
