Hello,

Could you please check the connections at the alternator and at the battery terminals? In the diagrams down below I have included the charging system circuit wiring diagrams for your vehicle for you. I have high lighted the wires for you to check. I have also included guides on how to induce and find intermittent conditions in an automotive electrical circuit. Please go through these guides, make sure that all the connections are clean, tight, corrosion free, and making good metal to metal contact, and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex
