Check the codes to see what the light came on for.

My buddies truck did something similar, volt meter was going crazy, and check engine light indicated charge system low voltage. Turned out the main charge wire had come loose from the alternator. It would have taken a long time to figure out if we had not checked the code.

Eventually, I'll get the pod you made me installed. Sorry I haven't been able to do it yet, been real busy. It's nice to look at though.
