check the power coming from the alternator. Could be the voltage regulator is starting to go.

Sounds like either a failing charging circuit or a bad connection. If alternator checks out okay, you might want to check the grounds. A good cleaning might work wonders and always helpful to have good grounds to reduce other problems.
