94 Park Ave red charging system light goes on/off. Over ten years I have had to replace battery once and the alternator several times - once in last 2 years since this has been happening. Also I can interrupt or get it to go off for a bit by banging on the dash near the device. Newer battery, alternator check out good - all connections checked out good & the gauge shows at about 13-14 amps consistently.

Is the belt tight? In the past, what was wrong with the old alternators that went bad?
