Thanks Ed. 14.2 v is good but it's low at idle. With those voltages I'm not sure how the warning light can be off at idle but illuminated at normal engine speeds.

Those are also good readings. I'm still puzzled as to why your battery warning light is illuminating.

The voltage at each side of the lamp must balance for the light to go out. A failing connect in either of the wires to the lamp will cause it to flicker. Simple.--- |

Well that must be the one then unless it's a dry solder joint on the instrument pack or the LED itself is about to expire.---

I would run a wire from the alternator to a separate bulb and see if the issue replicates itself there, if it does it must be an alternator fault, if not its a wiring issue.
