Update - I haven't been able to drive the car very much since I had the work done, but everything has been fine. Until friggin yesterday.
I was sitting in a drive through car wash (the paint is already pretty damaged on this car), and I messaged the guy that has helped me with these issues. I thanked him for finally getting this fixed after nearly 3 years of chasing the problem. ... ... And just a few minutes later, literally within a few hundred yards after leaving the car wash, it all happened again. Voltage shot up beyond 16v, gauge cluster shut down, radio+aircon, everything. It happened a couple of times.
I drove the car for another 90ish minutes after that, and never had another problem. Voltage was rock solid at 13.8-14.1v.
I am so disheartened. I have now replaced the pcm, the battery, the entire engine wiring harness, and the alternator x2, and multiple thousands of dollars chasing this issue. I have not changed the bcm. What else could it possibly be? I don't want to get rid of the car, but I can't trust driving it.
