My alternator light keeps flickering and I don’t know why.... tested it with the multi meter which said it was charging. Sometimes the lights out other times it’s dull and flickers on..... any ideas?

Needs new alternator brushes. Classic symptom they are going.

Loose pulley can do this too.

Ok thanks fellas I’ll look at both of those to see which it is.

i would also check the condition of the solinoid terminals (eyelet-nuts & Spades), often (if they`re rusty/crappy) they can "Barely" contact & the light will stay "slightly" on & ****** ,,, i`m not saying that this is your problem but sooo very often these little solinoid-spade-terminals are forgotten about & are generally quite rusty & if it isn`t a problem now, i will bet that it will be soon

If I'm carrying on like a pork-chop, I'm having a great time.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.
