Check your battery cables, especially your B-Positive cable(4 smaller red wires) that runs from the battery, under the airbox, and to the fuse/relay box. Open said box and look where the cable comes in at the bolt, its probably burnt or corroded and needs replacement. Also check the red battery to starter cable especially where it crimps to inside the battery connector. very common issues on these cars and could also be the source of your problems.
THIS is true. Also, where are you checking Volts? Check the voltage IN the car while doing your testing. Could be something as silly a s a bad ground to the controls. While the charging may be great, the interior accesspries could not be seeing 14 all the time.

On my daughters car, I used a section of bicycle tire tube folded a couple of times and used it in place of the broken tab. This allows some flex if she catches it on something again. I simply put a hole through either end of the the folded tube, drilled a hole in the air guide, bolted one end of the tube to it and with a longer than stock bolt, bolted the other end to the location on the frame. I did the same for the non broken side just in case she tore that side off, it would still be ok. Just be careful with the exact length of the tube where bolted to give it a secure fit, and to use larger washers on the rubber. Make sure that you use the smoother side of the washer against the tube as so it wont tend to cut the rubber.
good to see theres another father nursing his daughters V back to health from war wounds! i remember the days....
