I would say top of the list is the soleinoied. Replacments are avaleble but I have re built some befor ok. Can some times just be the bolts fixing the wires on. Take them of (disconect the battery first) then give them all a good clean and see how you go.

Could be a failed relay, this happened to me also. Think it was just under the scuttle. Although mine was a 1993 so could be different.
