Re: [T3] Electrical Strangeness

<x-flowed>I think it's solved.  I just replaced the #9 fuse and this seems to have 
cleared up the problem.  When the fuse was in the box, it didn't look like 
it was bad, it looked fine.  When I removed it, however, it came apart, so 
must have been cracked.  It was working sporadically though.  I replaced it 
and the brake/turn signal lights are functioning normally.  I'm pretty sure 
this is the cause because I was able to duplicate the same behavior by 
removing the fuse.  The behavior I'm talking about here is what I reported 
at the beginning of the thread, which is that the turn signal indicators 
would come on when I depressed the brake pedal, and that they would also 
come on when I tried the turn signals, but wouldn't flash.  Not sure why 
those indicators are coming on in those situations when the #9 fuse is 
out...but I don't think it's a problem, just confused me.  Thanks to 
everyone that provided suggestions on this problem!
