My battery light will periodically turn on and off while driving. I have noticed it comes on while I am driving/accelerating down the road. It seems to (not always) turn off while I'm stopped at a light or idling. I replaced the alternator last year and the battery 2 years ago. So I'm confused as to what it could be. I'm looking to sell the car so I would like to get the remedied before I sell it.

Thanks for your help!

Even though the alt was replaced, I would recommend having it checked. Most parts stores will do it for free. Also, check and make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight.

Let me know what you find.
