My battery light keeps coming on and low battery indicator keeps coming on while I'm driving. I took it in and had the battery, alternator, and starter checked and they said it didn't show any problems but the light only comes on when I'm driving, so they said it wouldn't tell them anything unless the light was on. It doesn't come on when I'm coasting or idling and it starts right up.
