Galaxy,used to bang fuse box when relays were going falty,also check each one by havin a smell,they do pong when going wrong,also check crank position sensor & wiring thay can give intermitent falts when failing.

loose or bad connection or shorting wiring possibly.If relay 30 rattles it means power is going off or low.Relay 30 can rattle when a battery is faulty or old/weak
