[DML] Flickering Battery Light?

[PRC1216@xxxxxxx]

Lately when I drive, my battery light flickers on and off, regardless of if I 
am running headlights, A/C, windshield wipers, etc.   I am running Hervey's 
D140, and the voltage gauge shows that the alternator is charging just fine.   
Sometimes when the light comes on, the needle drops from a little below the 
top orange line to the 13 amp mark, then back up.   This happens for a split 
second, only when driving.   This   battery light problem happened to me once in 
Pigeon Forge, then never happened again until a few weeks ago.   I had Dave 
Bauerle check it out and he said that the alternator was fine and was charging 
great.   I unplugged the connections to the alternator and plugged them back 
in, but the problem still remains.   One thing I have noticed is that when I 
turn the key to the accessory position and all of the dash lights come on, the 
battery light is somewhat dim compared to the rest... is this normal?   Any 
ideas on where to look?   My guess is under the dash somewhere a wire is crossed.
