Mike,
Have you tried operating the brake light swith by hand, push
it with a screwdriver blade etc rather than using the pedal. That
should confirm its a problem with a high resistance joint rather than
some other obscure fault. I had a similar promlem on my '78 B but it
only happened 2 or 3 times and then cured itself so I never got to
the bottom of the problem.
cheers,
Ian R.
