batt light

hi all this problem started the other day when i turn the ignition on the
batt light refuses to light up, the bulbs ok the only time it comes on
before start up is when i put a test bulb screwdriver on the pos terminal
on batt and touch the yellow wire out of the new altenator that i fitted
today, as we thought it was at fault this wasnt the case the light does
come on now an then for start ups but then out on the next. say it was out
on the start up from work. but in the mornibg it lights up again like
nothings wrong any help would be gratefull
