Arrow Battery Light?

My battery's are messed up, well not really, but the battery light seems to think so. My brother thinks the alternator might be going bad. It flickered today and I have an "owooga" horn that's hooked up to the left one (from inside the cab) and a siren hooked up to the right one. The siren works, the owooga, not so much. I'm gonna try tightening the terminals a bit tomorrow. Thoughts?

P.S. Don't think it matters but I'm also replacing a temp sensor tomorrow that went bad during some puddle hoppin', and unplugged it so the light didn't **** me off. Maybe it's messin' with stuff? Doubt it, but who knows...And I checked the wiring and switch for the horn it's a bit old, but it's been workin' for a while...

If all connections are clean &grounds also . Check the connector on the alt. If all checks out ,its usually the alternator . pull it & have it tested ..
