The 12 volt issue was due to a battery kill switch which the previous owner installed and I guess might be faulty. The fact that the lights came back on and then dimmed and then went out made me think of the switch. The switch is a dash mounted type, up is off, down is on. Once I switched off and then back on the dash alarm went out and the lights came right back on.
Thanks again for the replies.
