You may have some grounding issues or some other electrical problem , look for any obvious wiring problems , check for good motor to chassis ground or corrosion at fire wall disconnects

Chrysler products are known to have computer problems with their charging systems so check the battery or alternator separately won’t find the problem. Your favorite shop should have the right equipment to test the entire system and find the problem. I have replace I don’t know how many Chrysler computers due to a internal failure in the computer.

Check the alternator belt too. It may be worn and slipping. If this only happens when you hit a puddle or in the rain, check underneath for a missing splash guard. Hope that helps! Jim
