I posted a while back about my oil light flickering in my 944, when I let off the gas and take the car out of gear, when slowing down. Well, now the brake light on my console flickers with it! As far as I can tell, it only does it when I'm pressing the brakes and taking it out of gear. I have plenty of brake fluid and just had my pads changed earlier this year, and I changed my oil a few weeks ago, I checked it just in case, to see if it had been leaking or something, but it's right where it should be. Anyone have a clue? TIA

Maybe electrical? I've been experiencing a wide range of faulty electrical problems (occassional light flickers, relay clicking, one power window occassionally not working, etc...). I haven't had the time nor compulsion to actually try to fix these problems as they've not reached a critical level yet, but if they're bothering you maybe it's worth repairing?

That said, I'm not sure exactly how to go about repairing them. I figured I'd take a look in a manual and see if it's something I can do or, if not, then take it to the mechanic and see if there's something they can do about it. Others here probably have more precise and useful advice.

Yeah, electrical issues do seem to be pretty common, I've cleaned most of my grounds, but still need to get the ones under the dash behind the fuse box, I dread doing those. I'm not sure if it's electrical or not, it kinda simulates the procedure it goes through when you turn the key to the "ON" position with out starting it. *shrug*
