Default 96 XJS 4.0 Electrical Issues

Good evening,


Car runs fine and I'm really enjoying it but occasionally the voltage gauge (and all other gauges) suddenly drop way down for a split second and then return to normal as if there is a sudden short somewhere in the system. Can't figure out what might be causing this. It's not the electric cooling fan. All the systems seem to work and I don't see any pattern. It will do this a few times every time I drive the car. Doesn't seem to be correlated to temperature (car or ambient). Alternator seems to be charging fine. New battery (did it with the old battery as well - put a new one in given that the old one was 7 years old and thought it was time). Bought the car last November and have driven it about 1500 miles since. 54000 miles now. Absolutely love the car...


Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Mitch
