Why do you feel a steady alternator light is a must? I hardly ever see that warning light coming on when the alternator is dead.
I don't even know why they keep installing that light since it is so rare that it warns you for impending doom on a modern car.
To me it sounds like a dead alternator as long as the battery cables are intact which, since the engine is starting, they must be and so must the battery be ok since just the little boost from another battery is enough to charge it up and let the engine run until battery is depleted again.
