Default Battery Problem with video

Just got in from work and noticed this is happening and also it is random. after about 4K revs or am running down road at a constant speed the light will flicker on and off after driving for about 20 t 30 min it stays on.

Checks done

1 Checked battery for charge OK
2 Checked charging and alternator with test unit shows Green charging at max and holding current.
3 Checked with everything switched on in car still charging fine holding current and not over charging.

Any ideas what the cause to this is. Seems when I get problems all come at one bloody time lol..

Seems to of cleared up now the plug is fine but cleaned off air blasted the fker some wd40 left to dry and seems fine now. Also how long is the wire as am going to be checking it throughout the weekend coming as seems the case round it is wet and maybe split wire are the alternator wires simple to change over if broke is simple enough to go from loom and add new or matter of splicing into old engine loom and replacing if needed?

The three plug alternators arnt half as good as the single plug ones I've never had trouble with a single plug alternator my vts one stayed on permanent but it was still charging it's a mystery 🔍
