Re: battery light blinking

usually thats a sign of a bad alternator, i would guess you have a bad connection somewhere...

Check the tension of your alternator belt. If it's too loose your alternator won't function properly - causing the battery light in your cluster to flicker.

Also, check the bolts that hold your alternator in place. If they've worked themselves loose, that would obviously cause your alternator belt to be loose...

Re: battery light blinking

Check all Fuses. I had a fuse blow one time that made my battery light come, it was a fuse for some of my warning lights, one of them blew and sent power to another some how. I changed the fuse after checking about everyone in the car and it was fixed
