Stop lamp anomaly...

So my stop lamp indicator came on the day I rallied and was using my 3-brake while driving. It went away after a few minutes.

It came on again yesterday, and I didn't put 2+2 together til today, but it came on right after using the e-brake around a sharp corner (on ice, <10mph). Got out verified a light was out.

Started it up and cruised town today. No more stop lamp indicator, everything seems peachy. Even the ps pump whine is minimal.
Anyhoo, I e-braked into a parking spot at the gas station (again less then 10mph, plenty of space).
Stop lamp comes on.

2+2 equals the stop lamp indicator coming on and possible a brake light going out every time 3-brake while moving. No gas, no brake pedal, just drifting.




Strange observation.

Stop lamp

Awhile back I had my stop lamp coming on everytime I hit the brake pedal. The brake lights were coming on fine. I replaced the four bulbs anyway and the problem went away for good. It was one bulb causing it. I checked after I changed each bulb.

My farest right (passenger side) is going out when the lamp comes on. It's just odd that the e-brake would trigger it.
