John, could be lots of things. Have you noticed any change in brake
feel? Spongy pedal and/or long travel? The whole brake system merits a
close check.
Of course, on the electrical demon side of things, it's possible that
something has gone bonkers in the PDWA switch. It's also possible,
since there is an interconnection with the oil pressure light, that the
oil pressure sender (for the light, not the gauge) has gone out (this
seems a bit too common in my experience). Does the oil light come on as
well? And, BTW, is the oil pressure ok as registers on the gauge?
Some things to check, perhaps at lunchtime! ;-)
