battery light flickers when pressing the brake

Post by BFE »

Started it up this morning, and noticed that at a stop, foot on the brake, the battery light flickers. Not full-on bright, just a flicker. Let off the brake and it goes off.

Thoughts? Alternator getting ready to strand me?

haven't messed with the wiring, but definitely going to check my grounds and then try to grab a voltmeter to check the battery off and then while running to see how much the alternator is cranking.
