hey,

Sounds like u got earth issues. or wiring in general.

double check the wiring and run a direct earth to batt to get rid of any screw earth issues.

take it to a good auto sparky, they will find the problem in 5 minutes cause they have all the gear.

if they start telling you its a hard job walk out cause they are trying to screw you.
