Could be as simple as that, but dunno. Hope this helps and that it is something as small
That sounds like something worth pursuing. Put a voltmeter on the battery and make sure it is charged and watch the dash voltmeter to verify alternator is working properly. Might be worthwhile to have the battery tested under load.
