The alternator controls the light directly through wiring. So, it's probably a bad alternator.

Sounds like the alt is at times not recharging the battery. Check to make sure the alt connections are all tight. Make sure your battery terminals are clean and tight. Some times when an alt has a lot of miles, the brush springs get weak and at times will not make connection and thus not charge. Test the system when the lights come on to make sure that the alt is putting out.

Won't start

Check the fuel injectors, with the key on one side of the two wire connector will have battery voltage, if none is present then check the ECM fuses in the underhood fuel box.

Put in new alternator,shows charging and battery holding charge but battery light stays on. You start car and light stays off for about 15 to 30 sec. than on.

The alt should charge at around fourteen volls , any ways, yogi need to put another battery. A weak alt will kill a good bat.and vise versa
