It could also be purely coincidence, and the switch (in the "octopus") has just gone bad at this same inconvenient time.

Again in my '84, a little less than a year ago, the light started to glow, and then light up fully, staying lit. Yes, this pattern is a little different than the sudden onset of your light, but I'll share anyway.

Well, I knew I had no leaks or M/C problems, so I assumed it was a bad switch. The octopus's switch is replaceable ....

Braking Warning Switch (in block) rebuild kit: 272702-2 ($36.23)

...so I bought the kit. When I removed the old switch, it was clearly bad. Put the new switch in, and everything works like it should now.

So if you think you need a new switch, it's easy.
