battery light flickering sometimes when im just cruising along my darn battery warning light on dash will pop up for a second, then vanish... kinda does it by random... also ive been noticing when I drive her hard or even brake kinda hard it tends to do it more often? any clues as to what this could be... please note I recently replaced both alternator and battery...smh

i'll double check all my grounds tomorrow. also has new belt, no weird noises (slipping, squealing) tensioner looks fine, feels strong... batt terminals on cables ive also changed... kinda stumped, may get batt load tested... also have heard that possibly while in higher rpms, i could be overcharging the system and causing the light?

I put in a new yellow top battery and I regularly have to "tap down" my terminal on the posts.............it is as if the posts are a micrometer smaller than regular terminals. If you have a red top or yellow top...might fix you up. Oh, be gentle. I use a small block of wood and a rubber mallet. Cinder blocks and sledge hammers...not recommended.
