What is causing my 1998 ford ranger 4-cylinder 5 spd manual battery light on the dash flickers on when shifting from 1st2nd or 3rd but not 4th 5th or downshifting?

You may have a weak alternator, or you may be shifting to early. Entering a higher gear will drop the rpm down to much, and the alternator will not be turning fast enough to put out the proper voltage, and the light will come on. This would not be noticeable with the 4 to 5 shift because of the smaller rpm change, and down shifting would have an opposite effect(engine RPM increases). Let the rpm build up a little more before shifting.

You probably have low battery, or something.

It is possible you have a bad alternator, or a bad connection at the battery. You can take the car by your local auto parts store and have the altornator checked.

Probably the battery is discharged. It's possible the battery is not charging because the power adapter is dead. Check the power adapter with a voltmeter.
How can you fix the flickers in your 3D glasses?
Flicker is a common problem in active 3D TVs but they can become more serious if the 3D glasses are low on battery. Check the battery on your 3D glasses. You can't completely fix the flicker problem on active 3D TVs. Passive 3D TVs are supposed to be better with flickers. LG 3D TV is certified flicker free and gets almost no flicker at all.

Have it tested and also have your alternator tested.
Why does the battery light flicker and the car feels like it will die but it doesn't?
If the battery light flickers, it's losing voltage. It would be worse when the lights and other accessories are running. It just may not be enough to kill it yet. I would suspect parts in this order. Alternator(if there is a voltage guage, should be around 13-14 volts) discharged battery
What is the meaning of astra battery warning light?
That is the charging system warning light. If it stays on or flickers it means the alternator is not outputting enough voltage to keep the battery charged. With a digital volt meter you should read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts at the battery with the engine running. If not the alternator or the voltage regulator is defective. The voltage regulator is more than likely built into the alternator.
