Could be bad ground behind the dash board , corrosion of wires at disconnects , behind dash board , under windshield . Mice can invade even a daily driver . A multi tester is useful for checking electrical problems
How old is the battery? Weak cells can cause this, also the voltage regulator, worn alternator brushes, bad alternator wiring connections and diodes.
