Battery light flickering

Just started today but the battery light is flickering on and off doesnt stay solid. I have a scan gauge in the truck and its showing 13.8-14.2 volts so its not under charging or over charging. Truck runs fine besides that just really random. Any thoughts on what it could be? Thanks for any input!

Check your battery cables, I had a loose + on one battery and the opposite had the - all the way to the top of the post, cleaned and a dab of dielectric grease and my issue went away
