Battery light flashes.....

[DJB_1983]

I tried looking for an answer to this question and couldn't find one, so hopefully I'm not repeating posts....

Every now and then while idling forward, especially if I'm crawling over a bump or on an incline, the battery light will flash for a split second. One time it actually dropped the RPMs enough to seem like it was going to die (like popping the clutch too quick in a manual), but didn't. Wondering if this is another "personality trait," or just a dying alternator, bad tensioner pully, worn out belt something affecting the charging system??? Thanks much

You might want to get your alternator tested. My battery light started to flash recently (very short flashes) when I turned the headlights on. After having my mechanic test it, he found that the alternator was on its way out. What's the mileage on the car?

Do you have underdrive pulleys?

Mine does that too for some reason it's all stock and I replaced alternator about a year ago but every now and then it does it sometimes when I turn the wheel all the way

Check all your ground and positive connections. Check the cables for resistance. Not abnormal to have corrosion inside the cables.

Get the alternator tested.

81,000 miles on it. The belt is tight and not worn out. No add-ons anywhere, all stock. Maybe it is just a dying alternator. I suppose on the very low end, alternators go out around 80,000 mile aye?
