there is a maxi and mini fuse in the engine compartment for the charging system. if these are bad then itwould also cause this. Also by the starter relay there is a fusible link. thatcould be almost worn through or broken and do the same thing. It has a blue orange wire and it turns to a gray wire at the starter relay.
