As we were traveling down the interstate, all lights flickered (dash & exterior) & the engine almost died. Check Engine light flickered a time or two immediately after that, generator shut down, & cruise control no longer works. We waited a few minutes before restarting the generator ... & a few more before turning on fridge and a/c. All appear to be fine ... except for cruise control. About 15 minutes later the engine started revving on its own, and there's no output on the alternator! What would cause a power surge while driving? What could be wrong? We just replaced the battery disconnect relay, but haven't made any changes.

We also recently replaced the solenoid ... The brand new one looks like the old one now ... Partially exploded! What would cause that?

My first though would be a loose ground somewhere. Since you also said that you had some battery work done I would check all of those connections at the ground and the solenoid. You will probably find some wire loose somewhere.
