I've seen that before... twice. But it was two different things, so you have to check it out, or have someone check it out for ya. The first was a dying alternator (the owner had been jump-starting other cars, and killed the rectifier board in the alternator.... took out his battery too...). Rebuilt alternator and new battery fixed that. The second was a bad ground on the battery tray, where the battery had leaked from a crappy stock Delco battery, out the negative terminal, down the side and onto the battery tray. The acid corroded the connection to the negative cable and made for a poor connection. Cleaning it up solved that one....

mine was the ground at the battery tray... try cleaning that up like john said... its funny how a ground can cause so much chaos...
