Alternator. Go to the parts store and get the battery and alternator tested.

Check your alternator fuse. The inline fuse.

A bad connection. Check that loop down by the starter, - sometimes they hold water. You have to go thru your cable connections/grounds.

Keep in mind that MOST of the time and with light illumination, it is an alternator fault. Doesn't have to be of course, in my experience it has been.

So after going thru it and if the problem still exists, -look closer at the Alt.
