Mine, too. Since my switch lights run about 50/50, I figured this
was just the tie-breaker :-)

I've never investigated, but I assume it's a loose plug in back
of the switch. Assuming your switches are like my '89 100Q's, the
switches themselves plug into a bank of plug connectors in the back.
These get a little loose. Of course, I've been screwing around back
there at least half a dozen times, which I'm sure had *nothing* to
do with any possible loose connections.

Some day, when these lights get to the top of my priority list
(right....), I'll take a closer look.
