Stumper Battery Light

Battery light comes on and off.
I have changed both batteries.
I have changed the altenator.
I have check all cables for breaks or cracks and found none.

Any ideas on why light comes off and on?

If its frequent enough, hook up a meter to a terminal in the fuse block under the dash, and see what it says when your light turns on. Start there

My battery light was going off and on last month.. I found that the small two wires that go out of the top of the altenator, about 2" down from the connector were rubbing on the altenator housing and rubbed thru the insulation. You could hardly see it without using a magnifing glass.. but you could barely see a little copper showing thru.. I reinsulated and reposition them.. been good ever since..
