I have a similar problem on my 95 wagon. I suspect it's a corroded ground terminal.

Does sound like a ground issue. The connection of the ground wires to the body ground could be an issue. Any corrosion on the circuit board could be an issue.

You may want to stop by a parts store and have them test your battery and alternator to see if they are working properly.
