Have you tried checking the voltage on your alternator? I found that my alternator was pushing the proper voltage but it was returning to the battery, wound up being the grounding strap that runs down the engine and grounds several times was grounding out on something and just sending all the voltage to that point. Wound up swapping to a one- wire alternator and haven’t had a electrical problem since.
