Check the battery and alternator for starters.

Load test the battery and do a ripple test on the alternator among any other tests.

ok will do. is there also a chance that the voltage regulator is bad? cuz it sorta sounds like something that would cause that.

Do what Paul said and get the alternator checked. The regulator is built into the alternator.
