Very Strange....

I have a 93 4runner 3vze and a few days ago me and a couple buddys of mine were 4wheeling in about 3 feet of snow i got off the side of the trail and got stuck and had to keep rocking it in reverse to get back onto the trail and as i was rocking it the battery light and emergency break light started to flicker simultaneously. It kept doing it when i was in reverse but as soon as i put it in 1st and took off it went out. The next morning when i started the truck both lights stayed lit up so i checked my alternator and ground wire but no luck. Now when i start the truck first thing in the morning the lights stay on until it gets warm than once its warm they start to flicker and than shortly go out and stay out but if you let the truck cool down again it does the same thing, and when i put it in reverse and give'er a little it flickers too. Any ideas? because i am absolutely stumped no one i know or have talked to has heard of anything like this.

Also sense that day once it warms up when u come to a stop it will idle down almost to a stall and than pick itself back up to idle and it will do that over and over again, up and down up and down.

Any input would be muchly appriciated.

I suspect that while you where rocking it in deep snow, some wiring under side may of been damaged. I would inspect the under carriage area for any loose connection or dis-lodged wiring harness. That alternator light is not good. Maybe a wire shorting to ground?

You two are very lucky to have matching interests, not many people out there are so lucky.
