My battery light comes on/off inconsistently.

If i jiggle the car a little, it goes away :huh:

 

Any thoughts?

 

Car just did 1100 km, so it's not like the alternator is dying.

Checked the wires at the alternator, and they seem firm. Same at the battery.

I have a similar issue, and yes the alternator is fine kicking out 14 +volts.
I did find a post saying it could be one of the wires at the back of the fuse box, going to the main ecu fuse, brown I think.

I'm going to check it out tomoz, as my cars tucked up in the trailer at the mo, ready for a wet Oulton Park tomoz 😩💦💦😧

might be a loose battery allowing the positive terminal to touch the chassis ?

Yeh, I had this which caused a nightmare P1515 code, I've secured the battery (wedged it in with kingspan insulation) but I've still got the battery light on.
