i have the exact same problem on my ve. abs, brake and battery all flicker on and off when they please. i don't know what it is, i wish i did and i'd tell you. if i had a spare alternator i'd install it and see if it's what's causing it. i haven't really bothered much with it for awhile, but yes, it is scary

did you see my vid?

you should be able to go to advance auto or autozone and have them test your altinator. And thats probably what it is.

with symptomology like his, it probably will test fine on a bench.
