Robert,
The first thing I would suggest is to replace all fuses - older
fuses can break down even under normal load and cause phantom
electrical issues. I'd start with that, plus a new battery and go from
there.
On another note, pick up a 'Battery Tender' style float
charger, best for keeping batteries up.
