Electrical problem - help?

I've got two problems at the moment:
First of all, I've got a circuit breaker (manual break, not thermal) on the firewall on the exhaust side of the car. Today I was driving the car around, and stopped for a bit. Went to start the car again, and no power. Checked the circuit breaker, it was still in the "ON" position, but reset it anyway, but no power still. Mucked around the car for about half an hour, dismantled half of it but couldn't find anything else that could be wrong...
Anyway, re-checked the circuit breaker (by this stage had walked home and back again so had some tools), still in the ON position but no power. Reset it and voila, power.
Is it the heat that's making it go OFF? If so, can I just put a heat shield over it? or is it just that it's too hot on that side fo the engine bay? Since the car wasn't moving there would be no airflow...
Second Problem:
When I'm driving around, voltmeter shows 14V (approx), charge light is off, but every once in awhile (in fairly even intervals) the charge light will flash and then stay on but dim, and voltage will drop to about 11V. At this point sound of the fuel pump changes (but the fuel pump is on all the time so can't see how this affects... maybe because it isn't getting as much power?). And then the voltage will stay at 11V for about a minute, and then rise up to 14V again. And then repeat. Over and over again...
Any ideas what's going on?
Also, does anyone know if the 4AGE water temperature probe is compatible with the KE35 water temp gauge? Or if they are calibrated differently?
