Default New Alternator, Dash lights blinking sporadically

Just installed a new alternator in my 94 Trans Am, its putting out around 13.5 volts and the stereo and lights work fine. The only problem is that my e-brake, low traction and sometimes airbag lights blink randomly and will not stop. No idea what is wrong.

You ever figure it out . Check clean your grounds I'm experiencing a similar problem were I'm in park and I can touch the brake pedal and have my tach flutter slightly and a few lights blink just for a split second wouldn't notice it unless u watch it carefully curious if you sourced the problem

I finally got it figured out, Autozone sold me another bad alternator and the voltage regulator was causing pulses in the voltage causing the lights to flash. Got a new AC Delco cleaned all the grounds and the problem is fixed. No more autozone alternators for me, I've had 4 quit under warranty
