But this isn't what the problem is, it's when UNDER load, so you need to check the power whilst giving the car a bootful, ideally you want to see alternator power, but so long as you don't have less than 12V.

The earth also needs checking as with any circuit it's just as important as the live. Don't be tempted to ground on a rusty spare wheel well etc, if you do the whole rewiring job will be in vain.
