Thanks, I'll take a look at it more closely soon when I flush the brake and clutch fluid. I don't recall anything that would move externally when you press the pedal. I am pretty certain it used to...

Thanks Glen, I will put some WD40 inside the cap. I think I actually did that when I installed it, but it's been a couple of years now so I don't remember for sure. Probably can't hurt to do it...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check the distributor cap and make sure it's sitting properly. If moisture is getting in during a storm, I'm not exactly sure how I'd stop that. It's all stock...

Yeah, it is nice to have on trips!

Thanks, I guess I'll see if it happens again. Strange that it would be the connections since of how it hasn't happened during a drive, and then starts working again in an equally strange way. It's...

Are you saying that the wiring was present on your car for a rear fog lamp? What year is the car, and what did you find up front for the switch?
