Has anyone had a battery light that will randomly go on and off. On my 03 SVTF it seem that it will happen, and whenever it is stopped the car wants to stall when the light is on, but not when its off.
I had the dealership check it out, they preformed a AVR test which was good and I had the battery replaced back in Feb 2012. Any clue what it could be.

I know this is a simple answer but have you tested the alternator yet?

X2 and yes check ur alternator's charging ability. The regulator could be dead

i had the same problem
to get rid of it you have to shift down when braking, keep it in 2nd gear as long as you can before coming to a stop (almost stalling)
sounds stupid but it will go away oddly enough
