hi guys. I need some ideas. My 89 F250 started flickering the battery light mostly at idle. I replaced the regulator 6 months ago with no problems till now. The voltage gauge shows normal.

Do you have a multi meter? When its at idle battery should read 14v something. When its off battery should read 12.6v
