It sounds like there is a connection problem. Check to make sure the ground to the engine block is clean and tight. Make sure the battery terminals are the same. Also, check all fuses and relays under the hood in the relay box.

There has to be something electrical that can't maintain the electrical supply. That is why I'm thinking relay.
