I'm sorry to hear about your issues.. I do not know enough about our cars electrical system to offer much advice. However, I do seem to remember someone having similar issues and I believe the culprit turned out to be their IBS (intelligent battery sensor. Maybe look into that. Good Luck, hopefully it won't cost too much more to get her running right!
