Take a spray bottle of water and mist the cap while the engine is running in a dark garage. You should see the arcing. Sounds like some bad wires.

I can't say I ever used a spray bottle.I have always assumed water and electricity were a bad thing when applied together.A dark garage or outdoors you should see and arcing coming from the wires.
