Ben,

Just curious, have you checked your battery connections?  Especially the
ground strap where I presume it connects to the chassis.  A bad ground might
cause the symptoms you describe.  Or maybe the main alternator connection
has come loose.  Well, that's about all the help I can offer, except maybe a
fuse or relay somewhere has given up the ghost.

By the way, aside from this little quirk, how do you like your 4KCSQ?
