It also might be worth getting your battery checked, as an aging battery can cause a whole load of problems on such electrically complex cars.

Could be a current drain somewhere that has reduced the voltage.

could it be the battery not having enough amps?
i think the one on it only has 50 and someone said it needs at least 60?

If battery was slightly under spec I don't think it would cause troubles.
Well under spec may do so though.
I would check the alternator is giving good charge with meter. If ok then look for fuse and bad earth connections. Wiring diagram would be handy. If no joy then it may help to put on a Clip diagnostic tool for possible pointers.
