Default 95 Escort Battery Light

My 95 Escort LX with 102,000 miles has developed a new problem. For the last couple of days the battery light will turn on and off randomly while driving. I replaced the alternator about 10,000 miles ago and the battery about 10,000 miles before that. I took the car to the parts store where they tested the alternator and battery and said they were both fine. (Although the light was not on when they were testing). It seems to have no relation to how much load I have on the battery..... lights on, A/C, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

check the wire at the altenator not the big red, one with the two wires ( i think ) ,going to the regulator, pull the plastic tubing off so you can look and i am sure you will find a wire broken and still touching or corroded usually within 6 inches of the altenator good luck
