Alternator. Do you have subwoofers? If so this might as well be the time to upgrade to a bigger alternator

Check your disturbution box in the engine bay. I know they good bad over the years. The Plastic get's brittle and breaks the battery power cord from the box.

Ok forget what I said. As the car wouldn't have any power if the Power distrubtion box went bad. How old is the battery? It could be the signs of a bad/old battery or Alt
