One of the SDL's is not acting right. Every so often while the wife is
out and about, the thing wont start when she goes to leave wherever.
The battery is just not strong enough to turn it over. Usually hooking

On the charging problem, yes, its your old car. The relay for the
seats is unplugged so thats
The brushes are worn out on the voltage regulator. Get a new one, pull
the splash pan, remove the old one (two screws) put the new one in,

You must have at least 13.5 V at max load above 1200 rpm to charge the
