Default Dome Light & Odometer Surge?

2004 F150 5.4

For the last 1-2 months I noticed that when my truck is idling my odometer flickers like their is a short. It does not do it when I am driving. When I am stopped at a red light and I turn on my dome light (push by hand) it flickers too. I changed my alternator 1 week ago but not because of this but I thought it would fix it. It seems to do it every 10 sec or so when I am stopped. Any help would be great! Thanks

Check the grounding from the battery to ground, alternator to ground, and any other ground strap (I think there are three all together).
