MI Ever heard this one before (electrical issue)

When I am braking with my blinker on, my STOP LAMP idiot light on the dash blinks along with the blinker. It also happens when I am braking and then turn on the blinker. What makes it even stranger....It only does it when the car is warmed up to operating temperature. Weird huh?
Anyone ever run in to this issue?

I haven't experienced this, and it does sound pretty weird. I do know that grounding issues can cause all kinds of strange happenings. I would start by cleaning both ends of each battery cable. Then, maybe try adding some extra ground cables between the motor and the negative post on the battery to see if that helps. Good luck.

I've had this problem and it was a grounding issue and it also did it right before my fusable link died.
