I'm is the key switch had gone bad, power like fan n D/C port, would pull bad on alt and shut it down. Replace key switch ( not the key part) problems have stopped. Hope that helps other with thier problems

Ignition starter switch directs current from the fuse panel to other systems in the vehicle When not replaced, vehicle may experience no-start, intermittent shut down and/or current will not flow to all system.
