[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 806064, member: 54263"] What you describe is a common fault of a voltage issue. Often it is the battery with a partial short. And since yours is at 49 months old, no harm in simply replacing it. I would also have the alternator checked but it must be done so in the same manner that you see the issue. By that, it will have to sit over night, open the hood, hook up the gauge to read voltage to the battery, start the vehicle and watch the gauge. I still suspect that once the battery is replaced the problem will be solved. [/QUOTE]
