My battery light comes on intermittently and stays on for two seconds up to ten seconds before going off. Battery and alternator checked out fine at AutoZone. Do not know what the problem could be. Need some help with this. Thank you.

Check fuses for corrosion and then check belt and tensioner. Do not go by cracks in belt it must be measured recommended replacement for belt and tensioner is 60,000 miles. Then have a mechanic scan for codes as it can be a serial data link problem in body module. Also, check fusible link that goes off starter solenoid should have same voltage on both sides twist around as maybe only a few strands are connected.

Which fuses should I check first to see what causes the battery light to come on?
