... on a somewhat related note ...

Last week the brake warning light was coming on intermittently ... I
thought I had verified all of the usual suspects, so I went to the
wiring diagram for the car ... perhaps there is an error in the wiring
diagram, but if you look at it you will find that there is a circuit
that goes to the headlight wipers that appears to be capable of lighting
the brake warning light on the dash!  Later I figured that the fluid
level in the brake master cylinder reservoir was marginally low, so I
never had a need to track down this other possible mysterious source ...
