Subject:Correlation of brake switch to blinking Temp LED?
From:Mark G
Date:Thu, 5 Jun 2003 20:55:02 -0400

I notice that once in a great while, when sitting at a stop light in my 87 Westy automatic, the temp LED will blink for a half second or so just as I slightly let off the brake and hear a little 'click' from the brake switch, like when moving forward a couple of feet or so...

The light goes out as soon as the brake pedal is either completely released or pushed back in. Are these on the same circuit? Will a new switch help? It seems odd that the switch sometimes makes that little 'clicking' noise and sometimes doesn't. (And that the LED only blinks when the clicking happens.)  Any thoughts? Thanks.
