Electrical problem?

My son has a 93 Lincoln Mark VIII. We've had various problems with it in the past, but the current one is rather perplexing. He has called me several times in the last few weeks to tell me that something isn't working properly. I believe the first was that his one turn signal wasn't working. I drove it the next day and all seemed fine. Sometimes I would try it and maybe both turn signals would blink 3 or 4 times and then stop. Now they are both non functional. Then he called to tell me that his anti theft alert had been activated for no apparent reason ( he was close to the car when it happened). Then it stopped on its own (he didn't have any luck stopping it). Also there have been a couple of times when the keypad entry did not work. One day it worked the first time, but would not work when I tried it soon after. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How old are the battery and alternator? It has been said here many times these cars do strange things with weak power.

Alternator is probably no good, hard to tell without looking at it. Id say you have an intermittent problem with your charging system

Yes a failed or failing alternator (even intermittent) can do some ssstrrraaannggeee things
