Following the wife home last night, Sometimes all the Brake lights works, sometimes the Drivers side doesn't.
After quick diagnosis it seems that If you use the left directional, sometimes (even thought it clicks off) it doesn't come up far enough to get back into Brake Mode. The directional Stops blinking but it's in between the contacts for the Braking. If you lift the Directional handle ever so slightly, I get brakes. Seems like the contacts are getting cruddy or the spring to center the Directional Handle is getting lazy.
What kind of nightmare to dig down and replace the directional switch? It can't be pretty.
