Or at least keep it in the back of your mind that the battery may be going...
Thank you for this advise. I will replace the Stop Lamp Switch, if that doesn't solve the problem I can swap the relay out from my other car to see if that helps. I will also check the battery and connections. And this is a good thing to do anyway with winter coming. I already have a brand new Die Hard sitting in the garage on trickle charge.
I really appreciate everyone's help and advise. What a great car, and a terrific Forum. Thanks!
