Hello again,

This is a different one. If you are thinking because of electricity you want to have your alternator checked, specifically your alternators voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is what is used to, you guessed it, regulate the amount of voltage coming from your alternator going into the electrical system. Also check all of the grounds on your vehicle, paying particular attention to the grounds from the negative battery terminal. I have included a ground location chart for your vehicle in the diagrams down below for reference. Please go through it and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
