Most of the idiot lights have a test feature you are unaware of. They have a diode in series with them which allows current to flow to the alternator, when the alternator is not charging. Notice how most of the idiot lights are on when you have the key one and the engine is not running? Since the lights are flicking, I would guess one of the diodes in the alternator is bad.
