Let me break this down in ER terms for you.
Guy comes in with chest pains. Do you send him to surgery for a triple bypass, or take his vitals first?
You have to make sure the "patient" has blood pressure (battery) and a pulse (charging) before you start tearing into shit.
Rider could be right, but it could also be that you have a bad ground, as this can often manifest itself as "flickering lights", or other strange gremlins.
Could also be that you have a bad ground in the dash. That's what I would look for next. Get a wiring diagram, and track down all the grounds.
Do the simple shit first. You can always fuck it up completely later on.
