   Hello there,i noticed,behind the engine,that a wire that has a yellow insulation on it,has some of the copper exposed,it's just above the starter motor,i'm 100% sure that the positive wire of the starter motor is okay so it can be excluded.
   
   I was wondering what and how many wires goes to the starter motor or if it's just a positive and a ground,maybe that damaged wire has something to do with the battery light flickering.
   Many thanks.

   Off the top of my head,there is another live that turns the light on/off on the dashboard(battery light)check the alternator connector & wrap some insulation tape around the exposed wire.

   Are you talking about the 2 wires plastic plug on the alternator? If so i've checked it and didn't found any damage,i might use some electrical spray on it just in case.
