Had an intermittent fault on the front brake light, disconnected the loom feed to the switch and measured voltage at the loom connectors - 12.6V, Tested the resistance of the switch and it appeared to be switching on and off - ok, reconnect everything and no brake light. Turn of Ignition push probes into switch/loom connectors and tested the switch again all was fine. turn on Ignition and measure 12 .6V again on loom connectors. Starting to think I was going mad. Disconnected switch again and short connectors on loom and the brake light comes on and off no problem. The switch was working if tested on the AVO but obviously not under load.
Fitted a new switch (thanks Moto Rapido) and all is ok but i'm still mystified how it tested ok on a meter but not in circuit.
