Battery Light - 1/7/2008 9:55:15 AM

I have a 2001 Silverado 1500 (2WD) with a 4.8 V8. Recently, the red battery "light" has been randomly coming on and off. The battery is just 1 year old, and has been checked to be OK. The battery "gauge" always shows a strong 14+ volt reading, indicating the alternator is charging OK. Any ideas on what might be causing the red battery "light" to randomly come on and off? If so, how do I fix it?

Thank you

Umm, shakey (loose) ground, maybe? check your ground cable at both ends and make sure its tight.
