There is a problem with the charging system. Usually this means the alternator is defective, but not always. Repair immediately or you will be walking. If the light is flickering while at idle speed, but stays on solid while driving , or if you have oil leaks in the front of the engine, I have seen oil get on the alternator belt wich will cause it to slip, once the belt starts slipping it does not turn the altanator fast enough to charge wich will make your light come on in the dash , I have seen this a hundred times, so i would inspect the belt for oil on it before i spent the money on a new alternator. you can fix by cleaning or replacing the belt, but you should also find and fix the oil leak or this problem will arise again.
