Hello,
This could be due to faulty cable to the battery. As the light comes and goes it is an intermittent issue triggering by a connection.
Check the cable and make sure it is secured. Clean any corrosion that might be on the battery terminal.
Also make sure the alternator cable is secured and free of corrosion.

I have attached diagrams for the battery cable. Be sure to check all those connections.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
