Sounds like normal operation to me.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The MC brake / Ebrake warning light is the only light that should blink if the OEM flasher is installed. If the flasher is EP26 LED-compatible flasher then both will flash together. Attached thumbnail(s)

It's a sucks getting old! |
