X2 on not disconnecting the alternator. Modern vehicles just aren't designed to tolerate that.

Put a voltmeter accross the battery before & after starting. If the voltage isn't up after starting the alt is likely bad.

Also a bad groung to the cluster can cause all sorts of wierd things to happen....
