Battery light on

Gentlemen,

I have a 2011 F250 Super Duty w/116k miles. A week ago the battery light came on. Now the instrument cluster goes crazy, lights blinking, check everything, heater going full blast with heater off, windows dont work, etc. The everything goes back to normal for a while, including battery light goes off, then it goes nuts again. The battery tested out fine, wondering if anyone has any input on this problem. Either alt or some kind of something causing power surges, etc...

Battery light on is usually a bad altinatot . . Good chance its hooked into instrument cluster to make it Act up. I know farm tractor instrument panels dont work when they go bad
