The car listed above came in with a noisy alternator. After replacing the alternator the battery light came on, so we checked the battery recharged it and even replaced it. But as the motor motors running the light comes on and off.

Okay, we need to test the alternator. I imagine the alternator has a faulty voltage regulator so if this happened after the replacement then your only option is to replace it again as this has an internal regulator and is not service separate.
