I think all these problems are related but don't know. 85 full size bronco, 302 throttle-body, 4 speed,4x. Everything worked then It sat for 1 month, started it up, and noticed blinkers blink really slow, about 1 per 5 sec. also when headlights turned on, radio goes off. The dash shows no battery charge but does show drop when acc. turned on. I changed the alternator, voltage reg. and battery, but no change. I have been told it could be the headlight switch, relays, and everything else. I don't see how sitting 1 month can change this, but it has. Please help when possible, thank you

Start by measuring the battery voltage while the engine is running. It must be between 13.75 and 14.75 volts. If it is low, measure the voltages on the wires on the generator. Holler back with those numbers and wire colors.
