Just curious btw Thank you times a million I owe u greatly

Electrical gremlins are the scariest/weirdest issues. Anything is possible. The higher the rust the more resistance there is the more voltage drop across the resistance the less voltage your electronics see. At that point some electronics might be operating in the "brown" or "gra/ey" region and you cannot predict their response.
Take an volt meter and measure the voltage drop or resistance from every engine bay ground to the negative terminal of the battery. Anything higher than an ohm is suspect or whatever the fsm says. Ideally the resistance would be zero, so the closer to zero you are the better
