I have a 1997 pickup. this morning the brake light and the battery light started flickering. I have replaced the alternator with a new one, replaced the spark plug and wires. Had the battery and alternator tested an technition said both were fine. It is also surging on the amp, it is showing it surging and you can hear it too. Any ideas what it could be. I think I got a bad alternator. :confused:

I have a 1988 pickup doing the same thing. Did you every resolve your problem? I am thinking of replacing the alternator as well, but seems like i did that just a couple of years ago. Thanks.

I have been having the same problem, I drive a 1997 I30t and the parking brake and battery light remains on after starting for about 10 minutes then they go out. Car runs good. Any ideas?

That is usually the sign of a bad alternator.
