Need help

got 98 contour v6. all of sudden charging system start flashing. Does that mean it is time to get the alternator replaced. Someone can tell me if that is problem or something else is going on. Help me
 
I know a couple people have had similar problems with the charging system light flashing in the upper RPM's and it hasnt seemed to affect performance or reliability. From what I've read, nobody has been able to pinpoint the problem.
 
I had the same issue with the battary light flashing n the upper RPM's, and then pof, I day the alternator quit on me, good thing I was in my area though, so I mangaed to get it home, so if I was u, I'd hurry up and do the alternator
 
My black SVT did this for a few months, then gradually did it at lower RPM's. Eventually it became a constant light and quickly raped my battery.

I'd suggest changing your Alt now instead of waiting and getting stranded on the side of the highway.
