It's the battery. Is it fully charged? Check battery cables first for looseness and corrosion. Otherwise battery may be on the way out.

This is an indicator that either the alternator or the battery is going to need replacement.

I found on 96 and 93 the connection just aft of the battery, (Positive RED connector) on removal of bolt at the connection and you just may find light power ,clean off and your problem is over... The battery vents gasses, bingo problems
